Connecting across Distances: The Impact of COVID-19 in Belgium

Aired on March 27, 2020

Coronavirus may be keeping us at physical distances but it isn’t preventing us from connecting socially through technology.

World Footprints believes in the power of connection so we are traveling around the world to connect with family, friends and colleagues while adhering to health and safety guidelines. We are sharing stories about how others have been impacted by COVID-19 and the creative ways they’re adopted with the changes in their lives.

Today, we’re connecting with Sven Parthie, a massage therapist and life coach with a focus on Stress Management, who lives in Brussels, Belgium. Sven will share how the impact of COVID-19 is being felt in Brussels and some of the creative ways Belgians are coping with the pandemic. He’ll also share some helpful tips on how to manage stress during these trying times.

Wherever you’re joining us from please be safe. We’re all in this together and World Footprints is trying to serve you the best that we can.
