A “learning together” workshop-cum-webinar to collectively understand the differential effects of COVID-19 on individuals and communities. Members from underrepresented and marginalized communities will share their community’s experience of living through the pandemic and the lockdown’s impact on livelihood.

It will kindle discussions among the participants on the following key questions:
  1. What can we learn about the pandemic’s experience in particular individuals/communities/contexts?
  2. What brought about such a vulnerability in the first place?
  3. How could we mitigate the effects of such vulnerability in similar contexts?
