Today CEPIA launches the research “School, pandemic and adolescence”, a research conducted in the year 2021, in partnership with EMpower, when CEPIA started the project “Skills for Life” aimed at adolescents and youth, in order to stimulate the protagonism of this public and develop the Skills recommended by WHO, in order to encourage adolescents and young people to understand and strengthen themselves in their interpersonal and social relationships, as well as an improvement in self-knowledge, strengthening them to better deal with the challenges and conflicts they face in their lives.

These objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to achieving the 2030 Agenda in Brazil.

The project, among the various activities carried out, included the elaboration and application of an online survey, developed jointly by CEPIA’s team and the researcher and professor Raquel Guilherme Lima, PhD in Sociology Iesp-UERJ, professor of the Department of Sociology and Methodology in Social Sciences at the Universidade Federal Fluminense, in order to better understand the impacts of the pandemic on adolescents and youth, including also education and health professionals and adolescent’s families. The results of the research contributed to the design of other CEPIA activities with this public.
