During the conference the researchers discussed performative aspects of research with a child’s perspective, i.e. the methodological aspects of taking another perspective. The researchers had discussion on e.g. how children can become more involved in research, how it is possible to acquire children as informants and what researchers can do so they get a better understanding on how children understand and perceive the world.

"It was two very intense and productive days. And it was challenging to see beyond what we take for granted, and to see what we have for similarities instead of focusing on differences. The situation for children in Sweden and Indonesia is in many ways very different, but there are also many similarities. The challenge for us as researchers is therefore to work with methods that enable us to understand children's ideas and perspectives. Children want to be part of situations that they can relate to. As adults we just need to make it possible", says Kerstin Svensson, Professor at the School of Social Work.

The researchers also held discussions related to areas where norms and values are in conflict. This resulted in presentations and discussions about diverse norms and values based on culture, religion, ethics etc.

The conference Researching Children's Perspectives When Norms and Values ​​are in Conflict was funded by STINT, and was a result of cooperation between researchers at the School of Social Work, Lund University and Muhammadiyah University, Surakarta, Indonesia.
