COVID-19 TIME CAPSULE Did you know that you are living through history right now? We are living in unprecedented times with the COVID-19 crisis. The tragedy of the pandemic is having a profound effect on the lives of millions of people around the globe. The Government imposing restrictions to daily life, forcing us to quickly adopt different ways of working, learning and connecting with each other has brought extraordinary challenges for people, businesses, communities and society. Strict lockdown measures and “stay at home” orders have crippled the economy while the auspicious gesture of shaking hands is forbidden due to doing more harm than good. The magnitude of what you are experiencing right now will become memories, stories and even school learning for the children of the future, in years to come. Capture the moment with a time capsule of life as it is, seal it and store it away to open in another year, decade or even century. Imagine the memories! Here are some ideas for you to make a start: - Family photos - Special memories / occasions - Your feelings and thoughts - How it has affected you - How you have helped others - What was difficult to buy (toilet paper) - Shopping experience - How you managed your time - Pages from the local newspaper or clippings - Diary entries of your time in quarantine - What you miss the most (friends, school, take away) - How technology has helped stay connected with others - What the lockdown experience has taught you - Letter to yourself or interview with parents - The first thing you will do once it is over. - Did you accomplish anything new? Use the template, or use it as inspiration, to create your own memento of this extraordinary time!
