The project will engage siblings of those experiencing life-limiting/life-threatening conditions (LLTCs) in philosophical dialogue about wellbeing and care. Through this novel approach, it aims to generate understanding of siblings' perspectives on wellbeing and care to provide recommendations and advice to practitioners and families on the care and wellbeing of this unheard group. The group is over-looked and under-represented in the current research and practice fields, and their emotional wellbeing is a research and practice priority. The project involves a group of ten children, aged between seven and twelve, throughout and takes a rights-based approach. It culminates in the co-creation of a series of recommendations and advice for practitioners and families presented through a leaflet, a film, blog and podcast.The project builds on our research on: philosophy and children's voice and participation, including those who are marginalised; philosophy and wellbeing; philosophy as a research method; emotion-focused therapy and empathic compassion responses; and care for children with LLTCs and their families. The project adopts research methods that are innovative and creative: philosophical dialogue and arts-based methods. This involves workshops that include philosophical dialogue and complementary art activities to generate recommendations and advice for those working with or caring for those with LLTCs and their families. Using a structured approach to philosophical dialogue, Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CoPI), the siblings will explore key ideas relating to wellbeing and care, such as: What does it mean to be well? What is a good life? What does it mean to care and be cared for? What is love? What makes life meaningful? What makes a good relationship? What is compassion? Using CoPI as a research method enables children's views to be heard. Its structure facilitates meaning-making through surfacing definitions, assumptions and tensions between ideas, while offering opportunities to draw on experiences. It is important to gauge how care and wellbeing are conceptualised to advance recommendations and advice for practitioners and families. The project is also novel as it brings together creative methods to inform the recommendations and content of the film made with the siblings. The creative approaches will also ensure the siblings' engagement and participation throughout. Philosophical dialogue is not only innovative as a research method, it is inherently creative as participants must collaborate to create meaning and shared understanding. They do this through connecting ideas, using analogies, and humour. Additionally, there is evidence that this kind of approach may act as a vehicle to promoting positive health and wellbeing. Further, engagement in art activities has been shown to enhance children's psychosocial wellbeing. Arts-based participatory research methods can strengthen young people's wellbeing and enhance their capacity to engage in decision-making.The siblings will attend five Saturday (10am-3pm) workshops. During the workshops they will participate in CoPI dialogues on the types of questions noted above. As a form of analysis, they will participate in art activities designed to capture key elements of the dialogue they consider important. The dialogues, recordings and transcripts, will be analysed to identify themes to generate recommendations. The team will analyse transcripts between workshops and take their analysis to the workshops to discuss with the siblings who will work with the team on the recordings and artwork. The artwork and elements of the recorded dialogues may form part of the film. The project outcomes of recommendations and advice for practitioners and families will be produced in a leaflet, film, blog and podcast to be disseminated widely with practitioners working in a range of settings with children who have LLTCs and their families.

该项目将与那些经历生命限制/威胁生命的条件（LLTC）的兄弟姐妹进行有关幸福和关怀的哲学对话。通过这种新颖的方法，它旨在对兄弟姐妹对福祉和关怀的观点产生理解，以便向从业者和家人提供有关这个闻所未闻的群体的建议和建议。在当前的研究和实践领域中，该小组的看法过高，并且代表性不足，他们的情感健康是研究和实践的优先事项。该项目涉及十个孩子，年龄在七到十二岁之间，并采用基于权利的方法。它最终为通过传单，电影，博客和播客提供的一系列建议和建议共同创建。该项目以我们的研究为基础：哲学和儿童的声音和参与，包括那些被边缘化的人;哲学和福祉；哲学作为研究方法；以情绪为中心的疗法和同情心的反应；照顾LLTC及其家人的儿童。该项目采用了创新和创意的研究方法：哲学对话和基于艺术的方法。这涉及到包括哲学对话和互补艺术活动的研讨会，以为与LLTC及其家人一起工作或关心那些或照顾那些与之合作的人提出建议和建议。兄弟姐妹使用哲学探究社区（COPI）进行哲学对话的结构化方法，将探索与幸福和关怀有关的关键思想，例如：良好的良好意味着什么？什么是美好的生活？照顾和照顾意味着什么？什么是爱？是什么使生活有意义？是什么建立良好的关系？什么是同情心？使用COPI作为研究方法，可以听到儿童的观点。它的结构通过表面上的定义，思想之间的假设和紧张局势来促进意义，同时提供借鉴经验的机会。重要的是要衡量如何将关怀和福祉概念化，以促进对从业者和家庭的建议和建议。该项目也很新颖，因为它汇集了创造性的方法来告知兄弟姐妹制作的电影的建议和内容。创造性的方法还将确保兄弟姐妹的参与和参与。哲学对话不仅是一种研究方法，而且具有固有的创造力，因为参与者必须协作以创造意义和共享的理解。他们通过使用类比和幽默来连接思想来做到这一点。此外，有证据表明，这种方法可以充当促进积极健康和福祉的工具。此外，已经证明参与艺术活动可以增强儿童的社会心理健康。基于艺术的参与性研究方法可以增强年轻人的福祉，并增强他们参与决策的能力。兄弟姐妹将参加五个星期六（上午10点至下午3点）的兄弟姐妹。在讲习班期间，他们将讨论上述问题类型的COPI对话。作为一种分析形式，他们将参加旨在捕捉他们认为重要对话的关键要素的艺术活动。将分析对话，录音和成绩单以识别主题以生成建议。团队将分析研讨会之间的成绩单，并将他们的分析带到研讨会上，与将与团队合作进行录音和艺术品合作的兄弟姐妹进行讨论。录制对话的艺术品和元素可能构成了电影的一部分。针对从业者和家庭的建议和建议的项目成果将在传单，电影，博客和播客中产生，以与有LLTC及其家人的孩子在各种环境中工作的从业人员进行广泛传播。
