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/威胁生命的情况（LLTC）的兄弟姐妹参与关于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，为从业人员和家庭提供有关这一闻所未闻群体的护理和福祉的建议和意见。在当前的研究和实践领域中，该群体被忽视和代表性不足，他们的情绪健康是研究和实践的优先事项。该项目自始至终涉及10名年龄在7至12岁之间的儿童，并采取基于权利的办法。它的高潮是通过传单、电影、博客和播客为从业者和家庭共同创作了一系列建议和建议。该项目建立在我们对以下方面的研究基础上：哲学和儿童的声音和参与，包括那些被边缘化的儿童;哲学和福祉;哲学作为一种研究方法;以情感为中心的治疗和移情同情反应;并照顾患有LLTC的儿童及其家人。该项目采用了创新和创造性的研究方法：哲学对话和基于艺术的方法。这涉及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供建议和建议。使用哲学对话的结构化方法，哲学探究社区（CoPI），兄弟姐妹将探索与福祉和护理有关的关键思想，例如：健康意味着什么？什么是好生活？关心和被关心是什么意思？爱是什么？是什么让生命有意义？什么是好的关系？什么是慈悲？使用CoPI作为一种研究方法，可以听到儿童的意见。它的结构有助于通过提出定义、假设和各种想法之间的紧张关系来确定意义，同时提供吸取经验的机会。重要的是要衡量护理和福祉的概念化程度，以便为从业者和家庭提出建议和意见。该项目也是新颖的，因为它汇集了创造性的方法，以告知与兄弟姐妹制作的电影的建议和内容。创造性的方法也将确保兄弟姐妹的参与和参与。哲学对话不仅是一种创新的研究方法，它具有内在的创造性，因为参与者必须合作创造意义和共同理解。他们通过连接思想，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心理健康。以艺术为基础的参与式研究方法可以加强年轻人的福祉，提高他们参与决策的能力。兄弟姐妹们将参加五个星期六（上午10点至下午3点）的工作坊。在讲习班期间，他们将参加CoPI关于上述各类问题的对话。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的关键要素的艺术活动。将对对话、录音和文字记录进行分析，以确定提出建议的主题。该团队将在研讨会之间分析成绩单，并将他们的分析带到研讨会上，与将与团队一起工作的兄弟姐妹讨论录音和艺术品。录音对话的艺术品和元素可能构成电影的一部分。为从业人员和家庭提出的建议和咨询意见的项目成果将制作成传单、电影、博客和播客，向在各种环境中为患有长期转化型疾病的儿童及其家庭工作的从业人员广泛传播。
