摘要：Recently, research has evolved to be conducted with rather than simply on children, utilising participatory health research as a guiding paradigm, especially the right to be heard. However, the COVID19 pandemic has placed significant disruption to a child’s everyday life with imposed restrictive social measures of isolation, social distancing, and school closures, making their participation in research problematic. Many are researching the effect of COVID-19 on children, but we want to learn about the impact and resilience of children on COVID-19. To critically systematise the various challenges involved in meaningful participation in researching with children across multiple continents. Method: This masterclass will frame a collaborative process involving work in partnership with children during COVID-19, utilising participatory health research as a guiding paradigm. COVISION is an international research project focused on ‘harnessing the creative expertise of children to address practical and psycho-social challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic’ with children (10-17 years) engaged as co-researchers. Results: Globally inclusive research brings about great potential but also logistical barriers to implementation. Issues of various time zones of our partners and child advisors have been overcome through planned alternative meetings with the central core team and multiple advisory groups across various time zones being commissioned. Conclusions: This masterclass will increase the understanding of ways to promote child’s right based participation in research during the pandemic in a more meaningful way. Moreover, this masterclass will identify ways in which children’s actions contribute to the capacity of others to adjust to the changes arising from the pandemic.
