At the end of 2019 the humanity faced one of the biggest challenges of the 21^st century – COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent total isolation in countries all over the world. The pandemic worsened existing problems and made it impossible to continue to ignore them as it left no aspects of people's lives unaffected. At the same time we were given the chance to re-imagine the world we live in and our role in shaping a better future.

In the frame of Online Conference «United Nations: COVID-19 & New Normal», we will discuss with experts the questions, which concern each of us nowadays.

How did the pandemic affect different spheres of our lives?
What is the new reality we live in?
What are new challenges we face today?

All this and much more will be discussed with UN experts
