Answer
The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly across nations and country after country responded with lockdowns, making about 1.5 billion students globally remain at home.
Under these circumstances, and in order to engage students in a constructive reflection on current and forthcoming challenges, UNESCO and Takhte have organized a rolling essay contest entitled ‘Year 1 AC (After Coronavirus): Pan India Online Essay Contest 2020’. Children (aged 11–14 years) and youth (aged 15–24 years) have been invited to unleash the power of writing to combat isolation and stimulate creativity.
During the first month since its launch, hundreds of young participants from across 24 states in India shared their meaningful and provoking thoughts through their essays. As of mid-May, more than 500 submissions were received, from children and youth, ranging from 11 to 24 years. Participants - notably young women accounting for over 67% of the submissions under the Youth category, have voiced their concerns about life after the coronavirus, especially on gender roles and stereotypes.
