How 2 Survive a Pandemic: Adolescents Dealing with Crises

How 2 Survive a Pandemic: Adolescents Dealing with Crises

We are a research team from the University of Vienna, conducting research on the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on families. We aim to understand how teenagers have experienced this time. Therefore, we want to learn from teenagers what was difficult or enjoyable for them during this period. We want to find out what teenagers would have needed to better cope with the pandemic.

Teenagers know best what they need in such a crisis situation. Therefore, the goal is to create a Survival Guide that captures the experiences of teenagers. With the help of this guide, teenagers who may face crises in the future can benefit from the experiences during the pandemic.

In order to learn from teenagers and their experiences and to collaboratively create the Survival Guide, a total of nine workshops will be conducted in cooperation with four schools and one organization.

The Survival Guide is available in both paper and online formats, ready for download right here!
