COMMUNITIES & COVID19
COVID19 has challenged the world in unprecedented ways. The ongoing pandemic has been evolving rapidly, with individuals, communities, businesses, governments and scientists forced to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. There have been countless voices, sometimes helpful and sometimes conflicting.
With the support of the Grange Big Local, we are seeking to apply our theatre methodology to highlight community voices and untangle the complex issues and concerns which the COVID19 pandemic has triggered, to improve individuals' wellbeing and facilitate science communication.
Please join our project and add your voice to this exciting conversation.
