Title

Children and Young People's Contributions During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Subject

The project is by the Child and Community Wellbeing Unit (Centre for Health Equity) at Melbourne School of Population and Global Health (University of Melbourne).

Description

The Kids in Action on COVID-19 is an international collaboration that aims to provide a platform for children and young people’s ideas to promote the best outcomes during and after the COVID-19 restrictions.

In this project, adult and young researchers will collaborate locally and internationally to find out how children and young people have contributed during the COVID-19 pandemic and create a digital exhibition. Local projects will also engage with their communities to disseminate their findings.

We want to work with young people on doing this because we believe that their ideas and experiences are crucial to understanding how to support them during these times of crisis. In this way, we seek to promote opportunities for child and youth citizenship. Additionally, we aim to scale up the impact of young people’s local contributions by connecting them through an international network.
