Abstract or Description

The COVID-19 pandemic is a critical juncture that has impacted various social and political processes, including youth and student activism. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with youth and student activists who are part of a global movement on educational rights, this paper aims to explore their perceptions and experiences of the pandemic’s impact on their organising, movements, and activism. The pandemic has caused shifts in both the aims of and approaches to organising, presenting an opportunity for youths and students to centrally position themselves in important decision-making processes in education policy making and programming. These shifts could provide a window into the future landscape of youth and student participation in shaping the global education agenda.
