Join the first webinar of the "Philippine Public Policy in a Time of Pandemic: Confronting the COVID-19 Challenge" series, titled "Southeast Asian Peoples' Alternatives in Pandemic Times," on March 9, 2021 (Tuesday), 2:00 to 4:00 PM (GMT+8/ Philippine Time), via Zoom and Facebook Live.
This webinar will highlight how marginalized communities in Southeast Asia are coping with the pandemic and how their responses are conditioned by their location, the existence of community and sectoral organizations, and levels of social solidarity and collective consciousness. It will feature case studies from the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Thai-Burma border which are part of the UP CIDS Program on Alternative Development (AltDev)'s project on grassroots responses to COVID-19 in Southeast Asia.
(This webinar is brought to you by the Development Cluster composed of the UP CIDS Program on Alternative Development, the UP CIDS Program on Escaping the Middle-Income Trap: Chains for Change, and the UP CIDS Political Economy Program, with support from the Global Tapestry of Alternatives.)
