The pandemic created the need to adapt our forms of communication and mobilization. It is a singular crisis in comparison with previous periods, as it had in contrast the infinite possibilities that the virtual world offers. One of the main forms of communication, mobilization and debate used by civil society in this context were the so-called “Lives”, which became popular from April 2020. This page presents some examples of the more than one hundred lives mapped by Resocie. We selected only those that had the participation of civil society actors to discuss some aspect of the pandemic.
