What you need to HEAR: 

Social Impact From Home: Benefits and Drawbacks. Life has changed for many of us over the past several weeks. We’ve had to acclimate to Zoom meetings, spending the day in our pyjamas, and workspaces surrounded by kids, clutter, and distractions. What could this mean for our social impact? It’s important to look at both sides of the coin – we could easily get caught up in all of the disadvantages this time could bring for us and our social impact. However, it’s also important to realise that this time presents unique opportunities that could be taken advantage of.
