Setting Spaces for Youth and Student-Led Advocacy: Analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on youth and student organising calls for urgent action towards inclusion of youth and students in advocacy spaces

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.
