The ATLANTIC INSTITUTE, ATLANTIC PROGRAMS and RHODES SCHOLARSHIP are hosting a series of webinars about our world post COVID-19.

While the coronavirus has physically distanced and isolated millions of people, it has more than ever in our life-times, drawn people and organisations together under a common humanity and a profoundly collective commitment to act. In this series of webinars, we turn our imagination to something (k)new where we remember, reflect and shape what our local and global futures might look like post COVID-19.

In this fifth webinar, the speakers explore international perspectives on the racialization of COVID-19, including resistance and reimagining:

(1) MICHAEL SMITH, Obama Foundation, and Executive Director of My Brother's Keeper Alliance, Washington DC;

CLOSING POEM | written and performed by RICHARD WALLACE, Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity, Founder and Executive Director, Equity And Transformation (EAT), Chicago.

in 2019, the two winners of the inaugural ATLANTIC SENIOR FELLOW AWARDS were the EAST MEDITERRANEAN BRAIN HEALTH INITIATIVE, a joint project of three Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health; and the HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK FOR THE PHILIPPINES, a joint initiative of two Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in Southeast Asia.

The successful entries are given awards from the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE for projects which are emblematic of the ATLANTIC FELLOWS’ vision and the values of the community. Here, SOMPORN PENGKAM from Thailand and her colleague, BEVERLY HO, in the Philippines describe how the Award has helped them advance their project.
