Mary Fitzgerald, Editor-in-Chief of openDemocracy, said: 鈥渙penDemocracy鈥檚 journalism not only focuses on what鈥檚 happening right now, in this moment of crisis globally, but on what the future could and should be after the pandemic. We鈥檙e looking forward to hearing creative ideas from students of all disciplines and walks of life, and we鈥檙e excited to work with the winners to help share and amplify their visions.鈥�

Dr Brett Lashua, Lecturer in Sociology of Media and Education in the IOE鈥檚 Department of Education, Society and Practice, said: 鈥淭he COVID-19 pandemic has challenged us all to reconsider how we see the worlds we鈥檝e made. Extraordinarily creative adaptations and once unimaginable ideas have emerged as solutions not only to this crisis, but also to confront longstanding social and environmental problems. There鈥檚 no going back to an inequitable 鈥榥ormal鈥� and it is exciting to see students leading the way toward a more hopeful and equitable future.鈥�

Professor John Schofield, who researches archaeology at the University of York, and is a competition judge, said: 鈥淭his competition presents a wonderful opportunity for young people to offer their visions for a post lockdown future. Already archaeologists are documenting the COVID landscape, demonstrating how this is a subject relevant across disciplines and creative practice. As an archaeologist and someone involved with cultural heritage and the heritage future, I am delighted to be involved and cannot wait to see the entries.鈥�

Philip Collie, Managing Director of Schoolzone, said: 鈥淎midst high levels of anxiety about health, education and the economy, it鈥檚 fantastic to be able to support students in expressing their ideas for an improved, post-COVID world.鈥�
