Abstract:	Current analysis shows that there is a gap between the high acceptance of the concept of participation in research and theory and the participation of young people in the practice of residential childcare. There are not many studies to this issue, that includes the perspectives of young people, and hardly any projects connecting research and practice innovation in a processual manner during the study processes. With respect to that, this presentation deals with findings and experiences from a research and devolvement project in Switzerland that focused on the perspective of young people in care: The objectives of the project were a) enriching knowledge inductively by focussing users’ perspective on their experiences of participation in everyday life, b) to implement participatory development, which c) is in an ongoing dialogue with research results and vice versa. The design of the study includes four qualitative Group-Discussions (Bohnsack) with young people as well as a development process with youth and caregivers from three institutions. An action box and its evidence as a result of the project will be presented. The box was developed with the young people in participatory processes. Identified gaps by analysis of the group interviews allow to use the box in a more focused way. Based on the findings and practice products presented, we will discuss, how innovative developments in practice and inductive research should interact to enable alternative care settings and young people to create participatory environment.
