Every Wednesday evening Vivien, Zach and Meg meet at a primary school in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. They set up the chairs, put the kettle on and distribute the sheets of music they’ll be singing from that night.

They’re part of a community choir, where singers from all walks of life gather to rehearse - no auditions necessary. Anyone is welcome, and that’s the point. It’s a place where people can come to make friends, socialise and connect with one another.

Even in this age of ultra-connectivity, young people have become the loneliest generation with far-reaching implications for their physical and mental wellbeing.

Director of Social Identity and Groups Network at the University of Queensland, Professor Catherine Haslam, unpacks why we feel lonely and what we can do about it.
