Abstract

In spite of the fact that social innovation is made up of ruptured, cooperative values and the overcoming of pre-existing solutions, that is, values that are related to the characteristics of children and adolescents, these people are not usually active subjects of innovation, but only passive subjects or consumers. This article analyzes the concepts of childhood and hegemonic innovation that are behind this situation. With the aim of reinforcing the effectiveness of the right to participation of children and adolescents in this area, the article also proposes some changes in public policies for the Spanish context and some innovation spaces that can lead to this shift.
