Within the THRIVE (“Taking stock to foster health and trust for an inclusive post-Covid society”) project, its fourth work package uses interviews and focus groups to listen to the accounts and self-narration of children and young people currently aged from 15 to 20. This work package thus gains in-depth understanding of children’s experiences of and reactions to the pandemic, as well as of their view on its consequences up to the present. Covering a range of thematic areas, our qualitative research explores children and young people’s relationships with education, socialisation in and across different spheres (school, family, leisure activities, etc.), leisure and hobby activities in lockdown, identity formation, and attitude to different sanitary measures. This rich understanding is critical in de-homogenizing and de-demonizing the portion of the population often described as anti-vax or anti-establishment, thereby avoiding possible escalations and polarizations if a new health crisis were to break out.
