Community-centered Pandemic Engagement: Leveraging Open Source Tools
As evidenced by the global events of 2020 to 2021, infectious disease preparedness necessarily involves community-centered education and engagement. In this workshop, participants discussed how to use open source tools to create communication opportunities that resonate with unique and individual communities. Focusing on tools that were free or low cost, participants co-developed creative solutions to broaden conversations on COVID-19, the pandemic, vaccinations, and other topics relevant to 2021 and beyond.
