#LEARNINGCONNECTS ALL OF US, BEYOND GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITS AND CRISIS
The world is facing an unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing country after country to enact stringent social distancing measures to interrupt the chain of contagion and save lives.
AN IMPACT ON EDUCATION AND TRAINING...
Social distancing measures to combat COVID-19 have had a massive impact on education and training, everywhere. Schools and training centres have had to close from one day to the next.
WE WANT TO HELP COUNTRIES
To help countries deal with this unprecedented challenge and ensure that learning continues to connect individuals and institutions, we are launching a new initiative focusing on how education and training systems, businesses, schools, teachers, students and their families can adapt to the challenges of teaching and learning at a distance, often using unfamiliar and untried technology and imperfect systems and infrastructure. Our campaign is mutually reinforcing with the UNESCO Global Education Coalition.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR STORIES
Over the coming weeks through our social media channels and the Open Space we will be collecting your stories in the EU neighbourhood and around the world with a view to understanding the challenges being faced, the successes and inspirational stories emerging, so that we can promote the exchange of practice, tools and materials, and provide targeted expertise to see us through this crisis.
So join us on our communication platforms and share your personal stories on how you are coping in your country, in your town, in your school, your class, your family and even with yourself.
#LearningConnects all of us, beyond geographical limits and crisis.
SEND US A MESSAGE WITH YOUR STORIES ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS OR AT SOCIALMEDIA@ETF.EUROPA.EU

Great initiative!
I would like to share our story about collecting stories of online resilience during COVID-19 (so perhaps I'm sharing a meta-story!).
As a network of universities in the Euro-Mediterranean region we felt the need to keep our community connected, and to learn from each others' quick fixes, experiences, tips and strategies to cope with this massive shifting to online learning.
Stories from our network and beyond are collected and can be consulted (and commented) on this mini site: https://onlineresilience.uni-med.net/
There is so much to learn across countries and edu sectors, and this will make all of us stronger, indeed!
Thank you Cristina. This is very useful and the mini-site has a wealth of resources I see e.g. tips for delivering courses online for students and also for parents trying to work from home.
