A New Humanity During the Pandemic: Witnesses from Friends All Around USA
During this pandemic, when moving through our daily lives can be more challenging, we wanted to hear from people who are discovering a new creativity – a new humanity. We met doctors, teachers, musicians, photographers, managers, entrepreneurs, parents, and spouses, and we asked them all the same question: What have you learned from living life in this pandemic? We found extraordinary lessons from ordinary people. We invite you to meet four of these new friends!

Education Put to the Test: What Is Really at Stake?
Education is Communicating One's Self: Growing and Helping Others Grow During the Pandemic
During the pandemic, we have experienced frustration, loneliness, and apathy. How are we growing? How are we helping others grow? And what are we learning? These questions will be addressed in a panel discussion with Richard McPherson, founder of the Avalon School in Gaithersburg, MD and headmaster of the Brookewood School in Kingston, MD, Tom Tobin, teacher at the Avalon School, and Dr. Kay Yohe, head of the Trinity School at Meadow View, VA.
