social connectedness

This informative panel presentation share stories of practical experience from those engaged in community engagement activities that support community resilience.

In this session, hosted by Matthew Bishop of the Economist, Zainab Salbi and Ovide Mercredi share their experiences with isolation.

Social isolation significantly impacts individual and community health, well-being, livelihoods, and resilience, and yet few programmes and policies currently address this issue directly.

In this session moderated by Matthew Bishop of The Economist, Florence and Kluane Adamek (Jane Glassco Northern Fellowship, Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation) share what sums up their feelings of greatest isolation, and when in their lives have they felt most isolated.
