Mobilise: Children’s Rights Education through Creative Arts and New Technologies in Juvenile Justice Settings in NSW, Qld and Victoria: dataset

This data was captured through interviews with 54 reasons staff including, 12 CRE facilitators, a team leader, three regional managers and one practice development manager for Child Rights and Participation. The original plan was to collect data using a set of strategies, outlined below, however, due to Covid-induced lockdowns and ensuing restrictions at the YDCs, it was not possible to conduct individual interviews with C&YP and other stakeholders at any of the YDCs. As a result, data collection was restricted to interviews with the CRE facilitators, as well as the artwork produced by the C&YP and documented descriptions and explanations they gave for each of their drawings and paintings. The original plan was to achieve the aims of Mobilise through the following strategies: 1. Use quantitative and qualitative data sources to assess the outcomes and impact of Mobilise CRE program on C&YP’s understandings of their rights and their ability to apply the skills they have learnt in their daily lives. 2. Conduct individual interviews with C&YP to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and perceptions of the use of creative and technologybased pedagogies in CRE. 3. Conduct individual interviews with stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and perceptions of pedagogies and practices that are conducive to effective CRE in Youth Justice settings. 4. Analyse current research focused on CRE and test its efficacy through the narratives of C&YP and other stakeholders in Mobilise CRE initiative. 5. Conduct online surveys at the beginning and end of the creative arts and technology-based workshops, to gauge the project’s impact on C&YP’s wellbeing, sense of identity, connectedness to the community and the service sector. Interview recordings and transcripts, 54 reasons staff Community of Practice (CoP) meeting notes, 8 x Children’s Rights Education (CRE) session plans, drawings, paintings and lyrics produced by children and young people, Mobilise project final report.
