We pride ourselves on a Nordic school model where everyone has equal access to education, but that was not necessarily the case for all students when the pandemic was upon us, new research suggests.
How did the pandemic restrictions affect pedagogues and children of pre-school age? New research shows that the pandemic challenged the daily practices of daycare centres in several areas.
Many young people in the Nordic region have symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social anxiety, according to a new Nordic study. Girls are particularly affected, and more help is needed, according to the researchers behind the study.
It was children who were hardest hit by measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights stated earlier this year. However, there’s a lack of knowledge about how mentally vulnerable children and young people were affected. New Nordic research will shed light on this.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a range of immediate consequences for children and young people. To investigate the long-term consequences, NordForsk has decided to fund eight research projects on welfare among children and young people in the post-pandemic Nordics.
Project aiming to improve our understanding of the welfare for children and young people and the consequences of the pandemic and the restrictions on education, wellbeing, mental health, and living conditions.
Project aiming to build solid knowledge to optimize future societal responses and promote resilience in the young population, focusing on eating problems and disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, selfharm, depression, anxiety and wellbeing.
The EXPECT project aims to deepen knowledge about the experiences and consequences of COVID- 19 to prepare Nordic preschools in maintaining social sustainability for future pandemics or crises.
Project with the aim to improve understanding of mental health, life satisfaction, and services received among youth with disabilities in the Nordic countries during the post-pandemic period.
