Description
The CONVERGE COVID-19 Children, Youth, and Schools (CYS) working group will focus on creating a supportive and collaborative environment for research coordination in order to learn about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effectiveness of pandemic response efforts as related to the rights of children and youth. These rights of central interest to this group include: 1. Safety, Survival, and Protection: in the areas of health, water sanitation, hygiene, child protection, psychosocial impacts, and social support. 2. Development: with a focus on life course transitions and educational continuity especially looking at differential impacts and outcomes of variations in education policy and programming as well as in home- based learning outcomes 3. Participation: engagement of children and youth in risk reduction, safety, and recovery efforts. This CONVERGE Working Group is hosted by the Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction & Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) and has chosen a global remit on the broader concerns of COVID-19 impacts on children and youth, especially, but not limited to education.
