People want to get back to their normal lives, but can we get on with the “old normal” or do we need e new form of normality?

The Coronavirus has affected the lives of billion people across the globe, and changed our routine. We have to give priority to the pandemic containment in every moment of our life, keeping in mind that everyone is at risk.

As we are all contributing to a new normality, we all have to be resilient and look for innovative development opportunities. In particular, as the WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “We need young people to start a global movement for health – for a world in which health is a human right, not a privilege”. A new normality can’t exist without the active contribution of new generations.

Young people have a major role in acting as social change makers, they’ve been pioneers in the movements for climate change and racial equality, now we need them to promote health safety around the world.

Moreover, young people can also have a great impact on the economic recovery, thanks to their skills in digital technologies. In fact, digital technologies can be a powerful ally to continue business remotely in a situation where access to offices and production facilities is limited. Who better than young people can help enterprises with this urgent shift to digital strategies?
