Youth Art in times of COVID-19

COVID-19 affected us all. In 2022, as the Caribbean region began to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, Caribbean children told their stories through art. Evidence shows art helps children better cope and manage their mental health challenges. The Youth Art in times of COVID-19 project is a part of CANPA's Caribbean Youth Mental Health Champions project which was funded by the Clara Lionel Foundation. Children across the Caribbean submitted their artwork. Their pieces, their wholes, strengths, fears and hopes are showcased in our online gallery.

Youth Art in times of COVID-19

This project sought to capture the unique perspective of Caribbean children aged 8-16 years and to provide them with a platform to tell their stories about the impact of the pandemic on their life and how they coped, through the art they produce. They shared their visual art on the themes:

"My mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic",

"Coping during the COVID-19 Pandemic",

"My life during the COVID-19 Pandemic",

"Resilience during the COVID-19 Pandemic",

"Stronger together during the COVID-19 Pandemic",

"My COVID-19 hero",

"My world, my future after COVID-19."
