The guide offers a practical introduction to the participatory design of digital applications with and for children and young people, using the project “Children’s Rights in Your Pocket” as an example. While a human-centered approach is already well established in digital products for adults, comparable approaches for children and young people are still largely lacking. This guide fills that gap and demonstrates how young users can be actively involved in all stages of digital project development.
The guide was jointly published by UNICEF Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the OST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, and the University of Teacher Education Lucerne in 2023.
