PART 1 – Before the pandemic

PART 2 – Transitional space

PART 3 – The emerging future

PART 4 – Your reality

We set out to see how the pandemic has impacted upon different communities and individuals, to hear their stories of change.

We wanted to relate this to the pre-existing conditions to see what, if any, relationship there was with the impact of the pandemic. 

We thought that a range of strong foundations would be a characteristic of more resilient communities and that those most impacted by austerity and with fewer foundations would be hardest hit. We wanted to explore our insight that the period since the crisis hit has placed us all in an extended liminal space – that doesn’t look like what was before, nor what might be coming. 

We asked: 

• What did communities do in response to Covid-19? 
• Which factors helped or hindered this response? 
• How are people navigating the uncertainty of transition?
