This may sound far-fetched but is there anything positive we can take from living through the pandemic and lockdown? Were you able to spend more time with your family or start that business you always wanted to but never had that time for? Did you start jogging everyday or finish painting the spare room?


As humans we always find ways to adapt to the situation we are in and in this episode we discuss the importance of making the most of the opportunities that come your way.

UBELE TALKS - Navigating Space Under Lockdown

The Ubele Initiative has partnered with University College London’s Bartlett Development Planning Unit and FOAM20 to bring you “Navigating Space Under Lockdown” - a collaborative, mixed methods research project, documenting the perspectives and experiences of Black and racially minoritised young adults (aged 18 to 35) in England.  

Responding to a gap in current understandings, the project explored how young Black and minoritised people’s experiences of home, work, mobility, community and well-being have been affected by the pandemic and by prolonged periods of lockdown. 

With the support and guidance of 12 peer research volunteers the project reached out to over 150 young adults from across England. 

A short film and podcast series captured the diverse voices and experiences of this age group, navigating space under lockdown.

A summary of the project’s key findings can be found on the website.
