Saying ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ often may be part of our globally mobile lives but this year in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our usual rituals and coping strategies might be a little different. We may be saying ‘goodbye’ to our plans or leaving a location without being able to hug our friends. We might be saying ‘hello’ to a new normal and even more uncertainty.
Please join FIGT Member and author, Katia Vlachos for a virtual coffee to share what new ways you’ve found of navigating this year’s hellos and goodbyes, share your tips and advice as well as discussing how we can adapt in this new situation.
