Abstract

COVID-19 brought about a lot of challenges in various aspects of society, particularly in the education sector. The pandemic had a devastating impact on the lives of children and young people, disrupting their education and social outlets, leading to a disconnection from family and friends. In response to this, the Childhood Restored community art project was launched in Dublin's North-East Inner City (NEIC) in collaboration with the Early Learning Initiative (ELI). Its aim was to provide primary school children in North-East Inner-City with a safe space to express their feelings about the pandemic and its effects on them, through art and creative writing amid an emergence back into society. This paper outlines how this project was developed, its impact on children and learning for future wellbeing initiatives.
