Research has a potential for creating new realities, new "articulations of real" (Bergson, 2007)
In the case of this projects, research could create new practices and thoughts about children's participation.
It seems that the question is how to seed conditions, within research and particular pedagogical context, that can activate these new practices and lines of thinking?
Being there, within the process, together with children, giving time, taking time, creating time, being in the process of creation, of making art, letting oneself to become with the process... This is how to be(come) a researcher. This is how to create ethical response within given reality of relations.
In this example, childen took time, created with time, became connected with their senses, feelings, thoughts and actions, they became creatively critical, and also connected with the Planet and love for the world...
For a researcher to be in a close relation with a subject matter and follow its movements, within relational field - seems to be challenging, but also fulfiling task.
In this case, I was present attentative witness of children's participation as it unfolds in time, within preschool events, trying to nurture sympathy for what is going on, for the process and its moves, but also for its potentials, and my emerging thoughts and theorethical lines of thinking that could respond to these moves.
