Barns och ungas tillgång till kultur - En studie om strukturer, handlingsutrymme och agens i Göteborgs Stad

Abstract

Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child emphasizes that all children have the right to participate fully in cultural and artistic life. The goal has been to investigate how the City of Gothenburg works with the issue that all children should have the opportunity to participate. In the essay, I have interviewed people who work with art and culture for children and young people and studied some of the governing documents Gothenburg works with. The aim was to find out how the City of Gothenburg works to ensure that all children and young people have access to art and culture. With the help of the structuring theory, the work has consisted of seeing who has the agency, the opportunity for social action and how the discursive and practical consciousness is seen. What became a key word was equality as several of the initiatives in the city's Plan for Children and Young Culture focused on creating a more equal relationship.
