Maleficent star Angelina Jolie is working with BBC World Service to make special digital content about the Covid-19 pandemic that will be aimed at a young audience.
The Hollywood actress, executive producer of the BBC's My World, said: "Children have not been out of school on this scale since the Second World War.
"This is something that throughout their lifetimes, they will remember. It is something that older generations, for all their other reference points, have not experienced.
She added: "The way children go through this time - from the tools and information they can access to the ways they can communicate to and help each other - will be unique to their generation.
"We want to help kids to have access to trusted content and tools that will be useful to them during the pandemic: including helping them to seek out fact-based and reliable news, question the information they receive, and learn from each other's experiences."
