Data were collected and qualitatively framed within an interpretivist philosophical view using observation and focus group interviews from purposefully selected key informants who are experts in the area of indigenous knowledge and life skills education.

Despite calls for examining children’s lives relationally, dominant accounts view childhood as biologically, culturally or economically determined. Based on ethnographic observations of children’s life skills education programmes in Bangalore, this article shows how poor and marginalised children reposition themselves as ‘better educated’ and successful compared to peers, while a global network of professionals position them as ‘at-risk’, seeking to intervene in their lives. This article draws attention to how children can be seen as ‘strategically opportunising actors’, who creatively seek to make meaning of their lives despite structural and discursive constraints placed upon them.
