As we enter a critical era of global society, we’re faced with a pandemic that has quickly altered the way we carry out our current lives. The MOV.E team is looking to gather information about the effects of our present situation, to illuminate overlooked narratives and also to bring to light strategies that are helping communities through these hardships. We’re interested in hearing your story, please share your own personal account/story about how the pandemic has altered one (1) specific aspect of your lifestyle. How is it taking a toll on you financially? Do you have kids at home while you’re continuing to work remotely, and how is that affecting you? How has your community been responding to the current situation? How are you maintaining social interaction safely? What are some activities you are involved with now that you weren’t acting on before? What does your new office space look like? Do you find yourself exercising more? How are you taking advantage of any newly gained space or time? Positive or negative, feel free to express some thoughts on the current situation through the submission below.
OPEN Challenge:
Take one un-edited, original photo that represents how the current pandemic has affected an aspect of your lifestyle (ex: kids being at home, online teaching, social distancing, mental health, financial issues, etc.)
Provide a brief description (130 characters) to elaborate on your image submission explaining the cause and effect of that particular instance.
Indicate keywords (similar to hashtags) that relate to the themes in your photo.
