So how has the word ‘resilience‘ changed in its meaning for you over the past few months?
This is an aspect we’ve reflected on with over 20 international experts and 830 participants from 63 nations in the University of Cumbria facilitated Resilience Masterclass series, April – Jun 2020.
To conclude the series we held a special online Graduation Ceremony, with student reflections from a paramedic in Guatemala, an Airport Duty Manager from UK, and an Engineer from South Africa.
A number of the presenters themselves had to pull out of the series because they themselves contracted CV-19, or their responsibilities and duties increased because of CV-19.
As the day was about giving honour where honour is due, we concluded with an Act of Remembrance with contributions from the outgoing Arch Bishop of York, Rev Dr John Sentamu, and instrumental from the Dark Isle Piper, to remember all those who have lost their lives to CV-19, all those who are suffering separation due to CV-19, and all those using their lives to fight against it.
