The COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate economic consequences on the urban poor, particularly on young people living on the streets. As the pandemic moves from acute to chronic phases, novel methodologies can be used to rapidly co-produce outputs and share learning opportunities with those living in urban poverty. A “story map” focusing on the effects of the pandemic and lockdown was co-produced by UK researchers with street children and youth and practitioners in Harare, Zimbabwe in June 2020. Story maps are web applications combining participant-generated visual media into online templates, with multimedia content supported by narrative accounts. This story map reveals young street participants’ experiences of lockdown, including the effects on their livelihoods, sources of food and support networks. Its purpose is to tell the “story” of street lives, and to provide an advocacy tool and learning resource for policymakers, academics and practitioners working with young homeless people.

COVID-19大流行给城市贫困人口，尤其是对流落街头的年轻人，造成了严重的经济后果。随着大流行从急性期过渡到慢性期，可以使用新颖的方法来快速产生产出并与城市贫困人口分享学习机会。2020年6月，英国研究人员与津巴布韦哈拉雷的街头儿童和青年以及从业者共同制作了一份“大流行地图和封锁效应的故事地图”。故事地图是将参与者生成的视觉媒体整合到在线模板中的网络应用程序，并具有叙述性帐户支持的多媒体内容。这张故事图揭示了年轻街头参与者的封锁经验，包括对其生计，食物来源和支持网络的影响。
