When COVID-19 spread to India, Prathit Singh 's world – like all of ours – was rocked. He was in the middle of his high school exams when he was told he couldn’t go back to the classroom, and saw first-hand how the lockdowns affected children and young people throughout his community. As a result, he became involved in the COVIDunder19 survey project, led by Terre des Hommes across the world.
Today, Singh is the Youth Adviser for COVIDunder19 in India. In this podcast, he speaks about the creation and implementation of the global COVIDunder19 survey, which spoke to over 26,000 children in over 137 countries throughout the globe, along with the way the research provided children with an opportunity to explain their experiences to government leaders.
