Sharing in times of crisis and coronavirus
While we are all responsible, we stay at home, and listen to the advice given by the competent authorities to avoid risks and contagion of the dreaded COVID-19. Every day, more and more groups are joining our WhatsApp, Instagram, Skype, HouseParty… all with a common denominator: to survive and share our obligatory “confinement”.
In spite of the fact that this “population” is described as individualistic, immersed only in technology… this society has shown itself to be up to the task and to know how to show solidarity.
Sometimes when we are the farthest away, that’s when we feel the closest to everything and everyone.
Online Hidden Experiences
Every day, more users share their professional knowledge in social networks. They entertain, teach and entertain their audience, they contribute with their grain of sand: cooking courses, dance classes, maintenance exercises, photography courses, advice to promote your brand, advice to organize and/or postpone your wedding, courses in the use of excel, word, video editing… a wide range of possibilities suitable for all audiences and pockets. They are our hidden selection, all free and online.
Suddenly, users are “teleworking”, stay at home and, at the same time, at last, everyone has the most valuable asset: time. What to do at home during coronavirus quarantine? Where to look for free resources during Covid-19 quarantine?
Many are the ones who have shared with us the information they had sent in a WhatsApp group, others have asked us where to find movies, books, workshops… so for those more pragmatic ones who want to find everything in one click, for all those who have finished the famous list of “70 ideas to play with children at home”, here are our hidden recommendations.
For you, for me, for us… all united with different hashtag #nosotrosnosquedamosencasa, #stayathome #iorestoacasa but with the same message: together, we will do it; together, we can.
Hidden Tips
In spite of the limitation of movement we have, and even if we are not going to set foot in an airport for a while, thanks to technology, we have the possibility of traveling from home through Europe, the United States and even making a stopover in Russia.
