EcoVisio in Action - March 2020

(Eco)Activism and civic spirit in the time of corona

What can we say about COVID-19, the quarantine and its impact on people that hasn't been said already on all possible channels? The coronavirus pandemic is unprecedented, it has shown the vulnerability of our society but also its most supportive, human and responsible side. In this spirit, we encourage you to take care of your health and of your loved ones, even if that currently means being stranded between four walls and washing your hands until your skin starts to crack.

At EcoVisio, we are applying our own advice: working from home, team meetings on Zoom and moving our seminars online (see below about activEco). We are also looking for ways to support people and ideas that strive to combat the pandemic crisis (any suggestions are welcome). For the rest, follow our Facebook page where we will share survival practices & examples for this period, for body, mind and spirit.
