Extensive evidence confirms the positive impact of the arts on the mental health, wellbeing, capabilities and agency of young people, particularly those affected by multiple stress factors(including structural exclusions caused by poverty, race, religion, gender and sexuality, cognitive and physical ability). Participatory arts programmes promote positive mental health alongside supporting young people to learn and practice their rights and responsibilities as they become critical citizens. Research shows that pandemics can trigger mental distress (including depression and anxiety) particularly in young people. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent problem for young people, especially those made more vulnerable by intersecting challenges such as poor mental health, low educational achievement and social exclusion (including racism). The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting social distancing measures forced arts organisations to move their activities online, changing the ways in which they support vulnerable young people. This study investigates how arts organisations continue to re-invent their programmes to support young people during the pandemic, examining the impact of these changes on arts workers and how young people are experiencing this new way of connecting with their peers and communities.Research questions:1. What are the consequences of lockdown and social distancing measures on how arts organisations support the development of young people (18-25)?2. What are the critical challenges arts organisations are facing in transitioning from physical to digital and other social distancing measures? What can they learn from this experience?3. How are young people coping with the emergency situation and what role can the arts play in building resilience?

大量证据证实艺术对年轻人的心理健康、福祉、能力和能动性产生积极影响，特别是那些受到多种压力因素影响的年轻人（包括贫困、种族、宗教、性别和性行为、认知和身体能力造成的结构性排斥） ）。参与式艺术项目促进积极的心理健康，同时支持年轻人在成为关键公民时学习和实践自己的权利和责任。研究表明，流行病会引发精神困扰（包括抑郁和焦虑），尤其是年轻人。 COVID-19 大流行给年轻人带来了一个紧迫的问题，特别是那些因心理健康状况不佳、教育成就低下和社会排斥（包括种族主义）等交叉挑战而变得更加脆弱的年轻人。 COVID-19 大流行以及由此产生的社交疏离措施迫使艺术组织将其活动转移到网上，改变了他们支持弱势年轻人的方式。这项研究调查了艺术组织如何在大流行期间继续重新发明他们的计划来支持年轻人，研究这些变化对艺术工作者的影响，以及年轻人如何体验这种与同龄人和社区联系的新方式。研究问题： 1.封锁和社交距离措施对艺术组织如何支持年轻人（18-25）的发展有何影响？2.艺术组织在从实体转向数字和其他社交距离措施方面面临哪些关键挑战？他们可以从这次经历中学到什么？3.年轻人如何应对紧急情况？艺术在增强复原力方面可以发挥什么作用？
