GROWING UP UNDER COVID-19
| YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK OUT |
Wednesday 24th February 2021 marked our first external event for the Growing-up Under Covid-19 project.
Co-run by young people and adult researchers and attended by delegates including policy makers from the UK and Europe, educationalists, social workers, academics, think tanks, and International NGOs, the webinar showcased the action research methodology that has been developed through the project.
Young people led a series of peer-to-peer conversations about the research process and emerging findings, and fielded questions posted by members of the audience as part of a lively interactive session.
Really powerful presentations from young people on life during Covid. Social distancing is the language we've all learnt, without knowing how.
Participant, UK University
We are preparing a report on Covid, and this research project has provided us with a lot of inspiration – for example the young person... talking about a mental health pandemic for which there would be no vaccine. Very eloquent and hitting the nail on the head.
