In this article, CRIN highlights positive responses to the crisis that have benefitted children and young people around the world. It invites readers to submit further examples for a follow-up report.

CRIN points out that, although coverage of the pandemic has understandably focused on its negative impacts, several welcome initiatives have also emerged. These can be seen in fields such as:

• Education, which included both innovative solutions to ensure that children and young people could continue learning despite lack of internet access, and child-friendly resources on the pandemic;
• Mental health, with the creation of child helplines and lists of activities and projects to entertain kids at home; and
• Right to protest, with live streams and successful events despite not being able to meet in person.
