WITH PEOPLE: Communication, Community Engagement, COVID-19, and Preparing for Future Pandemics

Through our Managing Director, Tomas Jensen, Rain Barrel recently had the pleasure of joining 24 communication for social change and behavior change experts who participated online in the COVID-19 Independent Panel Roundtable on Communication and Community Engagement.

The specific purpose of the roundtable was to help guide the work of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, which was established in September 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General with the aim of exploring how and why COVID-19 became a pandemic and what lessons can be learned.

We are proud to be associated with this initiative and the many great thinkers and fine fellow human beings that we got to engage with during the process.
