We all need a break from loved ones from time to time but when you are forced to stay indoors, how did you adapt? Did the lockdown add a strain to your relationships?

How about your working relationships, did they suffer or did you become a more productive group during lockdown? THe face of dating changed completely and people who had just met ended up spending a lot more time together than usual. We discuss how we have all dealt with all the different relationships in our lives and whether or not they have been affected positively or negatively.

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.
