Abstract

The article presents the preliminary analysis of Italian children’s diaries during the COVID-19 lockdown. The outbreak of the disease has posed great challenges to people’s daily lives and often children’s perspectives have been overlooked. We conducted a diary study with 28 preadolescents in the North–East of Italy to grasp their firstperson perspective on this extraordinary event. We considered a number of relevant examples that are representative of their ideas, opinions and thoughts on the pandemic phases, family life, and education. Diaries are used as ecocultural qualitative methods able to illustrate the dynamics of children’s experiences and their sense-making, and to provide useful insights for educators.
