Wood: Inclusive Narrative
A recent PBS broadcast featured the response to the Covid-19 Pandemic in Australia. An article in Forbes tells us what we can learn from their response. Dr. Fauci praised them for their actions. These are the points mentioned in the article. "1) Act quickly and decisively based on incoming data. 2) Bipartisan unity is essential to emergency response. 3) Social capital builds trust amongst the public. 4) Meaningfully engage with different communities to find out what they need." (Forbes, Mar 24, 2021)
The Australian success reminded me of an article on the website of the Baha'i World News Service. “100 years of fostering unity” (bwns.org) The article mentions a series of meetings held in locations all over Australia. Discussion meetings were held to consider the future of their country. The results of the meetings are reported in a document with the title. "Creating an inclusive narrative."
