Setting Spaces for Youth and Student-led Advocacy

There is overwhelming evidence on the complex and multiple impact of the pandemic on young people’s education and employment. However, little is known about how COVID-19 has influenced youth and student organising and activism.

This Report – commissioned by the Global Campaign for Education – brings fresh insight on the realities and experiences of youth and student organisers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It draws from a desk review and semi-structured interviews with youth and student organisers, stakeholders, and regional leaders from the GCE’s youth and student networks in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East & North Africa, and South East Asia.
