What can we do to improve our knowledge and understanding of school children health and well being? This question was raised when the ArctiChildren project started. The aim of this presentation is to share some methodological perspectives on research within schools. It is crucial to develop a number of different options of collaboration between researchers, teachers and students, as well as different possible methods. We will highlight the importance of developing collaboration between the researchers and the schools. We will also discuss projective methods, for example drawings, as one way to gain knowledge and understanding of schoolchildren's school experiences. Another method we will discuss is working on consulting basis with the staff in order to decrease bullying and harassment in school.
