DCN SEE Hub, Digital Communication Network and World Learning are organizing, via Zoom, the webinar “The Time of Epidemics: Stories from the Field”, which will take place in the 26th of November at 16:45 (Athens Time).
As our society’s struggle between hope (vaccines), despair (infection, death, isolation) and refusal (anti-vacine, conspiracies, etc.) questions are still there:
Lessons learned-Unlearned
How people cope?
Could things have been done better?
Managing a Epidemic/Pandemic or keep ignoring it ?
Should we be there recording human suffering?
