PRA visual analysis with children : informing education and decision-making

This paper presents the findings of a research project that examines the use of visual methods of participatory appraisal and how they are used with children in the fields of education and development. The work assesses the role and potential of visual methods for children's education and empowerment. It challenges the ideology that has elevated writing as the central most important form of visual literacy, thereby undermining and marginalising children's communication, expression of ideas and learning.
