WEBINAR PART 3/3
(Re)connection in the New Reality
This webinar aimed to move beyond a discussion solely focused on national challenges and solutions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic by providing members and participants a direct look into the life of citizens around the world. As people are coping with a new reality, WeGO sought to provide a platform for them to share the challenges and changes they are facing. This was done through pre-recorded footage of the daily life of ordinary citizens and a discussion about their experiences with government officials from their respective cities.
WEBINAR PART 2/3
Exploring Effects and Results of COVID-19 in the Americas
This webinar explored issues and challenges raised by the COVID-19 outbreak, with a specific focus on the readiness and responses of local governments, corporations, and institutions in the Americas.
With efforts to develop a vaccine predicted to go on until at least the second half of 2021, this session highlighted the steps cities are taking in the meantime to allow their citizens to get back to normal life. It sought to share COVID-19-related challenges, policies, and solutions in enabling economies and schools to restart, such as testing, tracing, and digital delivery of services.
Cities shared their experience of dealing with quarantine regulations, opinions on working and studying from home, best practice that can be replicated in the region, and policy changes that instituted in the face of the pandemic. Smart tech solution providers shared insight on how to prepare for a second wave, along with predictions for the post-COVID-19 era.
