Name: Coronavirus Time Capsule

Provider: Islington Youth Theatre and Company Three

The Covid-19 pandemic has seen children and young people across the world isolated from their social networks as up to half the world’s population was at one point placed in lockdown unable to meet up with friends in a physical sense.

For many young people, communicating through social media, video calling and mobile messaging services are second nature, but these are not always the best mediums for open and honest discussion about how they are feeling.
