Covid-19 has affected all of us, as citizens and aid workers. We all have been learning and adapting, striving to continue supporting people with shelter and settlement assistance and contributing to the efforts to limit the spread. In this dynamic 1h session we will be sharing a global round up of our collective experiences in the areas such as, construction safety and distributions, isolation /quarantine/ medical facilities and efforts to improve shelter and settlement conditions. 

Furthermore the second half of the hour will be an opportunity to share ideas for the future. We invite participants to come with your thoughts to questions such as.  Has Covid brought us any new opportunities? Has it put shelter / housing higher onto the agenda? If not, why not?  How might this type of pandemic change our practice forever.
