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、能力和能动性产生了积极影响，特别是那些受到多重压力因素影响的年轻人（包括因贫困、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）。参与性艺术方案促进积极的心理健康，同时支持年轻人学习和实践他们的权利和责任，因为他们成为重要的公民。研究表明，流行病会引发精神痛苦（包括抑郁和焦虑），尤其是在年轻人中。2019冠状病毒病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。2019冠状病毒病大流行及随之而来的社交距离措施迫使艺术团体将活动转移至网上，改变了他们支持弱势青年的方式。本研究调查艺术团体如何在疫情期间继续重新设计其项目以支持年轻人，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岁）的发展有什么影响？2.艺术组织在从实体向数字和其他社交距离措施过渡时面临哪些关键挑战？他们能从这次经历中学到什么？3.年轻人如何应对紧急情况，艺术在建立复原力方面可以发挥什么作用？
