Children's crisis narratives as Futures Literacy

The aim of the international study "Futures Literacy - Children's Crisis Narrations as Spaces of Utopias of Solidarity" is to gain insights into children’s (life) worlds and perspectives on home-schooling in times of the Corona Crisis by means of crisis narratives written by schoolchildren in several European countries. The data collection is based on a special writing assignment for pupils (10-13 years), in which they are asked to describe how they would tell their future grandchildren about the time of the Corona crisis in a fictional future where they are grandparents - 60 years later. The perspectives of children are explicitly placed at the center of interest in order to draw conclusions about issues that concern this age group in times of crisis. Theoretically, the study ties in with the concept of futures literacy (inspired by Miller, 2007). Texts produced by students will be evaluated by means of a systematic combination of quantitative and qualitative content analyses (using Latent Class Analysis).
