An NUIG professor leading a global UNESCO study on the impact of Covid-19 has warned that young people have been unfairly vilified during the pandemic. The study is being led by Professor Pat Dolan, UNESCO Chair and Director of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre at NUI Galway. Prof Dolan said young people are doing many positive things, such as supporting the elderly and engaging with their community. Prof Dolan adds that a global study is needed because the virus has affected countries in different ways. Professor Mark Brennan, fellow UNESCO Chair at Pennsylvania State University, is the co-principal investigator along with Prof Dolan.
