My COVID-19 Story is an open invitation to all young people to share their stories by means of written testimonials or the recording of their own video.
To amplify their voices further, UNESCO invites young people to share their stories through its social media channels, its website, its Field Offices and its networks all over the world.
The written and video testimonies collected will also contribute to the "Youth as Researchers - COVID-19" project, which will collect and consolidate knowledge and data on, by and with young people around a series of key issues related to the COVID-19 crisis (e.g. inequality and discrimination). The project will examine the impact of the crisis on young people (especially young women - out of school or unemployed because of the crisis), and how they affect or trigger resilience. The project - developed in collaboration with UNESCO Chairs (National University of Galway (Ireland) and Penn State University (United States of America)) - will provide a basis for skills development and virtual mobilization of young people for the collection and analysis of data.
