A report by UNICEF in the early days of the pandemic predicted that young people would experience the greatest impact. What followed were numerous studies looking at the impact of the pandemic on young people in relation to their mental health and well-being, their physical health, and their education. But they were mostly studies about young people and not with young people.
What might it mean to listen to young people themselves and their experiences of the pandemic?
A research study 鈥淵oung People, Well-being, and Connectedness in the Time of Distancing鈥�, conducted between November 2021 and April 2023, invited young people between the ages of 16 and 24 from across Canada to engage in participatory research invited young people between the ages of 16 and 24 from across Canada to engage in participatory research. Along with producing these cellphilms, they also had the opportunity to screen their cellphilms in small groups and to reflect on the messages. Young people chose many different genres to represent their ideas and messages in their cellphilms.Most adopted a 鈥榥o faces鈥� style. The cellphilms included in this video highlight key themes of young people鈥檚 experiences of the pandemic.
Un rapport d'UNICEF au tout d茅but de la pand茅mie a pr茅dit que les jeunes seraient les plus affect茅.es par la pand茅mie. Plusieurs 茅tudes par la suite ont 茅valu茅 les cons茅quences de la pand茅mie sur les jeunes, sur leur sant茅 mentale, leur bien-锚tre, leur sant茅 physique et leur instruction. La plupart portaient sur les jeunes, sans 锚tre faites avec les jeunes.
Et si on 茅coutait les jeunes et leur exp茅rience de la pand茅mie?
La recherche participative 芦les jeunes, leur bien-锚tre et le sentiment de connexion en p茅riode de distanciation禄, entre novembre 2021 et avril 2023, a invit茅 des jeunes du canada de 16 脿 24 ans 脿 cr茅er de courts 芦cellphilms禄 (film茅s avec leur t茅l茅phone) sur leur v茅cu en temps de pand茅mie, et leurs messages 脿 transmettre 脿 la classe dirigeante, au personnel enseignant et aux parents. Les jeunes ont aussi pu visionner les cellphilms en petits groupes et r茅fl茅chir ensemble sur les messages transmis. Les jeunes ont eu recours 脿 diff茅rents genres pour repr茅senter leurs id茅es et leurs messages. La plupart ont opt茅 pour le style 芦sans visage禄. Les cellphilms qui suivent mettent en lumi猫re des sujets centraux soulev茅s par les jeunes sur leur exp茅rience de la pand茅mie.
