While I was working from home already for more than a week, suddenly the schools closed and our three kids were also at home.
I reached out to my existing network of interviewees and asked them if they would be able to describe the current situation where they live and how it impacts their lives. I am also interested in finding out how parents, teachers and of course our kids deal with this situation and what great ideas they came up with to deal with the situation.
If you would like to describe your current situation in your country, please have a look at this PDF with the questions and some information about this initiative. You can easily record 3-5 minutes using this voice recording tool online. Once you’re done, just send the downloaded mp3 file to [email protected].
These short special episodes are recorded directly by former interviewees and everybody who has something to share. I will keep artwork and editing to a minimum to get these out as quickly as possible. I hope that many will find these snippets interesting and will find a helpful resource and tipps during these challenging times! Let’s turn this into a big lesson learnt!
