COVID-19 : CULTURAL SHOCK

COVID-19 : CULTURAL SHOCK

Presentation and open discussion about the impacts of the pandemic on the cultural level and how the Greek government and citizens face it.

Wejden Chebbi is a new volunteer at Solidarity Tracks organization, taking part in the Elderly Care Center volunteering activity. Due to restrictions and safety reasons she is not able to start her actual activity like helping the Elderly, so she adapted to the situation and took her first initiative to work on the topic of Covid-19 and it’s effects on the different cultural sides. Like every other country in Greece, the quarantine was a hard period for all the sectors and all the citizens, and specially in the cultural and traditional sectors. This fact made her to chosen this topic and to make a small event with presentation about the effects of the pandemic on the Cultural sector. The event will focus on what happened during the quarantine, how the Greek government and citizens faced that hard period and will finish with open discussion on future impacts.
