The coronavirus is everywhere: in the news, on social media, our personal communication and even in our thoughts. The increasingly high numbers of infected and dead people on the news frighten many of us as much as the lockdown impacts our societies, social and economic live.

But this pandemic also brings solidarity and hope. We, the Editors’  Team of this Blog, looked in our home countries for moments of light and positivity. Join us to look in different corners of Europe for some optimism!

What are your light moments during this time?

We hope that you are all well and send best wishes from our corners of the world to yours!
