The showcase of their stories was published on 24 January 2021, International Day of Education.

WORLD TEENAGE REPORTING Project - COVID-19
More than 60 stories by teenage reporters linked to newsrooms in 19 countries around the world covered what their cohorts were doing to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In part, the aim was to combat the prevailing images of teenagers a problem: careless beach frolickers who brought the virus home, as couch-sitters who just complained about their boredom or a group that was identified mainly by loss of important adolescent milestones. In any case, not part of the solution.
