"A post COVID-19 Europe" is the topic for S1.E5 of the live stream series "FEMYSOnow".

This session aims to provide a platform for discussion around the destabilizing effects of COVID-19 in Europe and what that means for our economic, political and wider societal systems. This pandemic has caused huge amounts of change within people’s lives, the question is will some of these changes force a reset in people’s mentalities or will we see behaviours such as the rise in nationalism as we did after the financial crash of the last 2000s. The panel will explore many of these issues with a look into what another europe could look like if we advocated for change in the short term whilst the region is recovering from the outbreak for the long term benefit of society as a whole.
