Work during Covid 19

In the middle of the academic year 2019/2020 we received the news that there was an outbreak of a virus. Universities closed in March and we had to change to online classes and meetings. As a team, we were having weekly meetings to check our developments, but not before checking how we were doing due to the situation.

The excursion to Colombia was canceled, yet, we did not stop hanging out online; embracing our frustrations, loneliness, achievements, and so forth. We made the decision to support each other in the midst of the uncertainty. Working but not losing the focus on the vulnerability stage we were all embarked on.

The restrictions continued throughout the entire year, but we tried to listen to each other to prevent a possible personal or collective burnout, together as a team. We have learned that the physical distance
sent us to walk into the desert, but online tools can also be used to provide companionship in our work environment, to find an oasis in our journey.
