Indonesia’s creative economy generates 7 percent of its GDP. But  during the pandemic, events shut down and with little support from the  government, many young creative workers had to pivot to survive. This  session will explore the issues faced by the sector and strategies to  better support its recovery and sustainability.

The pandemic has had a significant impact on people with disability,  with lost income, social isolation and many struggling with a lack of  accessible health information and education opportunities. People with  disabilities have also been excluded from planning, implementation and  evaluation of COVID-19 mitigation and recovery. This session will  discuss the experiences of people with disability during the pandemic,  and what can be done to better support and include people with  disability during times of crisis.
