As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, children across the country have been removed from their school environment. How do we explain the current situation to our children?

Nathalie Bélanger can discuss the importance of giving them a voice, to hear what they have to say on the subject, and to address issues related to the pandemic from a possible learning perspective. She can also address the reorganization of school systems and family space, as well as the risks for more vulnerable children.
