In the past 2 months, IICRD has initiated a collaborative discussion with the School of Governance at the Universidad de los Andes, in Bogota, Colombia. Universidad de Los Andes, a member of the Child Protection in Crisis Learning Network (CPCLN), has been leading innovative applied research on engagement of vulnerable youth in local decision making in poor neighbourhoods in Bogota (led by Dr. Sandra Jaramillo and Dr. Amy Ritterbusch). Discussions are under way for IICRD and Universidad de los Andes to co-host a course on creative research methods with children and youth.
