How we cope, how we connect, how we reflect
Share your story
At a time when we are physically cut off from each other, we can find comfort in personal stories that we can relate to. We may be overwhelmed by the constant stream of grim data and news, but we can tap into our ETH community for examples of how to deal with the crisis that can inspire us, and influence our own response in a positive way. Click the button below to submit your ideas, and join in creating an uplifting collection of digital content for and by the ETH community.

This content is part of the broader togETHer campaign launched during this unprecedented time.

Here you may find all information on how to submit your story...
