A global youth-led research initiative
The Youth As Researchers (YAR) global initiative on COVID-19 connects and engages with young people to conduct research on the impacts of COVID-19 on young people and the responses young people have implemented to tackle these.
UNESCO and the UNESCO Chairs at the National University of Ireland Galway and Penn State University lead a consortium of youth-led or youth-related actors to support the research through training, mentoring, and coordination.
What is the research about?
Five themes were selected to define the overall scope of investigations:
- well-being
- learning
- use of technology
- human rights
- youth action
