Unmasking the digital world
Not unlike the rest of the world, the countries involved in SIGNIS Caribbean were caught completely off guard with the onslaught of COVID-19. No-one could have foreseen what was to come or how greatly it would impact our way of life.
During these past months, we have rallied together in the hope of creating a new way forward to regain some normalcy within our Caribbean countries and communities.
The member countries of SIGNIS Caribbean meet monthly online and offer updates on activities, challenges, and plans. The various responses to the present pandemic are shared and as most countries went into lockdown, the implementation of digital platforms was no longer a choice but became a necessity.
