Helping Kids!

Helping Kids! is an international research project studying developmental changes related to children's prosocial behaviours and civic engagement in a post-accord generation and also around the world. We examine factors related to children's ability to understand and identify with conflict-related groups, how they respond to the emotions of others, and their helping behaviours towards peers they have not met. This research is framed by the (opens in a new window)Developmental Peacebuilding Model. Since 2015, we have collaborated with colleagues in Colombia, Republic of Ireland, Israel, Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Republic of North Macedonia, South Korea on a number of funded projects.
