Jacqueline Woodson’s narrative style in The Other Side: An African American picture book for children
2012
The Other Side (2001) is a children’s story with multicultural characters and themes that can be regarded as an aesthetic exploration of the human experience in the process of the acquisition of knowledge. Following the Black Arts Movement, Jacqueline Woodson’s work portrays many of the issues that are present in the real world but seldom appear in children’s literature, such as racial division or interracial relationships. Using the metaphor of a fence, this African American author reveals issues of loneliness and friendship, inclusion and exclusion, and the overcoming of prejudice and segregation through the wisdom of Clover and Annie, an African American and a white girl, who become frie…

A Theoretical Reflection Based on Children’s Opinions About Their Safety to Rethink Different Dimensions of Sustainability in Cities
2020
In the last years, it has increased the interest of the scientific and professional community to know especially what makes children feel satisfied and what generates well-being. Well-being is determined by cultural values from a society that seals off or facilitates the elaboration of personal goals. Addressing well-being is undoubtedly a complex task; even more when it comes to children, since it requires adopting a multicultural and multidisciplinary approach. Inquiring about the different dimensions of children’s well-being implies paying attention to their own opinions and references. Starting from the children’s reference to a local cemetery—which appeared coincidentally in various dr…

In this paper we present the critical issues in co-designing a social media service that aims at civic participation. We also give suggestions for how to cope with the challenges in a multicultural participation process. We claim that constant meta-level discussion about the goals and partic…
