When: June 16th, 2021, 12:00 – 14:30 (CET)

The Nordic countries have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic with measures such as social distancing, homeschooling and restricted leisure activities. A primary concern has been for young people’s well-being.

How did youth experience the restrictions during the pandemic? How did they respond? What can Nordic youth research tell us about the consequences of the pandemic on young peoples lives?

These are some of the questions we address at the NYRIS Webinar 2021!

We have invited prominent Nordic youth researchers to discuss young people’s situation in Denmark, Finland, Norway Sweden and the UK during the pandemic.
