THE COVID GENERATION


HOW WELL ARE OUR SOCIETIES PREPARED TO SUPPORT YOUNG PEOPLE WHEN THE NEXT CRISIS HITS?

The Covid-19 pandemic tested youth resilience and revealed both strengths and critical gaps in policy responses. What helped young people cope—and where did support fall short? As attention shifts beyond Covid-19, the key question is what we choose to learn from it.
Today’s young people face a polycrisis—persistent instability shaped by overlapping challenges, from health and climate to economic uncertainty. They are not simply recovering from one shock, but navigating continuous disruption. How can policies better anticipate and respond to this reality?

Join us to reflect on these lessons and help shape more resilient policies for the next generation!
