Growing up in times of COVID: how is Eindhoven educating?

For the generation of children, years of education and social contact have been affected by corona at critical periods in their development. Let's talk about lingering effects of unfinished learning, parents facing dilemmas to risk Covid infections or risk normal childhood. International families are in a different position than native Dutch families when it comes to facilitating the development of their children. While the region maintained a strong economy, COVID does affect the interactions that are so typical of our Brainport eco-system and may affect sourcing international talent. Paradigm shifts come along maybe once in a generation. The COVID-19 pandemic has created multiple paradigms shifts the likes of which have never before seen. How will we, the region, and us individually come out of it? Joining us is a panel of honorable guests: Alderman Stijn Steenbakkers, Councilor Miriam Frosi, and Education Director Geert Simons who professionally see the impact. Yet, Radio 4 Brainport, also invites parents and students, Beena E Arunraj, Karishma Vij, and Anushka. As an interim director of Eindhoven News, Beena hears the voice of many internationals.
