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.

该项目将让那些经历生命限制/危及生命的状况（LLTC）的兄弟姐妹参与有关福祉和护理的哲学对话。通过这种新颖的方法，它旨在了解兄弟姐妹对福祉和护理的看法，为从业者和家庭提供有关这个闻所未闻的群体的护理和福祉的建议和意见。该群体在当前的研究和实践领域中被忽视和代表性不足，而他们的情绪健康是研究和实践的首要任务。该项目涉及十名年龄在七岁至十二岁之间的儿童，并采取基于权利的方法。最终通过传单、电影、博客和播客共同为从业者和家庭提出一系列建议和建议。该项目建立在我们以下方面的研究之上：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；哲学作为一种研究方法；以情绪为中心的治疗和同理心同情反应；照顾 LLTC 的儿童及其家人。该项目采用创新和创造性的研究方法：哲学对话和基于艺术的方法。这包括举办包括哲学对话和补充艺术活动在内的研讨会，为那些与 LLTC 及其家人一起工作或照顾他们的人提出建议和意见。使用结构化的哲学对话方法——哲学探究社区（CoPI），兄弟姐妹将探索与福祉和护理相关的关键思想，例如：健康意味着什么？什么是美好的生活？照顾和被照顾是什么意思？什么是爱？是什么让生活变得有意义？是什么造就了良好的关系？什么是慈悲心？使用 CoPI 作为研究方法可以让儿童的观点得到倾听。它的结构通过表面定义、假设和想法之间的张力来促进意义的形成，同时提供借鉴经验的机会。重要的是要衡量如何概念化护理和福祉，以便为从业者和家庭提出建议和建议。该项目也很新颖，因为它汇集了创造性的方法来为兄弟姐妹制作的电影的推荐和内容提供信息。创造性的方法还将确保兄弟姐妹在整个过程中的参与和参与。哲学对话不仅作为一种研究方法具有创新性，而且本质上具有创造性，因为参与者必须合作创造意义和共同理解。他们通过联系想法、使用类比和幽默来做到这一点。此外，有证据表明这种方法可以作为促进积极健康和福祉的工具。此外，参与艺术活动已被证明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提高他们参与决策的能力。兄弟姐妹将参加五个周六（上午 10 点至下午 3 点）研讨会。在研讨会期间，他们将参加关于上述问题类型的 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的对话关键要素的艺术活动。将分析对话、录音和文字记录，以确定主题以生成建议。该团队将分析研讨会之间的笔录，并将分析带到研讨会上，与将与团队一起处理录音和艺术作品的兄弟姐妹进行讨论。录制的对话的艺术作品和元素可能构成电影的一部分。针对从业者和家庭的建议和建议的项目成果将制作成传单、电影、博客和播客，向在各种环境中与有 LLTC 的儿童及其家庭一起工作的从业者广泛传播。
