Voices of children during the COVID-19 pandemic

This marked our first international collaboration project. We worked with Global Atlantic Fellow Rennta Chrisdiana based in Indonesia to understand how the COVID-19 lockdown specifically impacted children in South Africa and Indonesia and how they felt during this time.
The project’s climax was a live collaboration between children from the 2 countries who narrated their experiences. Despite social, economic, political, and geographic differences, children from both countries carried grave concerns for the disruption to their learning; the loss of income to their households, the well-being of their parents and siblings, and safety.
Loss of life, violence, and hunger heavily impacted on children.
