And remember to wear warm clothes and warm shoes.

Registration: No registration needed, just be there a couple of minutes before we start.

Questions and framing
The pandemic is in no way over or behind us. An epidemic is local, a pandemic global, and people all over the world is still suffering from the direct and indirect effects from the virus. And the world will not be the same as it once was, as time relentlessly moves us and the planet forward. There is no normal to go back to or reset button to press. With all of this in mind and heart, here in Uppsala and Sweden restrictions and recommendations are lifted September 29, 2021. Students, coordinators and teachers are already back at campus and we can return to in person interactions, to a more human community and leave the black Zoom-boxes at home. We are passing through the pandemic portal, moving forward to continue the fight for a better world, for a habitable, beautiful world, for humans and more-than-humans.

What has the pandemic year and a half meant for you? What have you learned, known, felt and been moved by? How has life, love and learning changed, evolved though isolation and coming out of isolation? And how can we create a more equal and sane world, and support people still suffering from the pandemic?
