Document Summary
Have to have 3 pieces of evidence. Children are conceived as belonging to the domestic sphere (and to schools), and thus not political. Formal political institutions exclude children (election, parliaments, parties, etc. ) but attempt to mobilize youth for their own ends. A lot of political activity happens outside formal institutions. Crc (12. 1) specifies for children"s right to be heard, but politics implies that what they say ought to influence the world they live in. Children should be involved & have a voice; have a say in the world & their lives should be run. Children may be excluded from formal politics, but they have consist shown an ability to be political. In april 2013, students at bal mandir (government school) school in kaski, nepal, protested physical abuse to education ministry; principal and teachers were fired. Children have played the role of vanguard in numerous political movements; Karl mannheim historical events produces shared generational consciousness in young people.
