03 April 202005 June 2020 EVENTSUSTA 25 – THE FORCE Monika Brzywczy When we chose the theme of this issue, we thought we would be releasing it into a beautiful healthy Polish spring. At the time when everything around starts getting back to life, but we are still tired of the long winter, lack of sunshine and optimism. The time, when we need new source of energy. Meanwhile, just before we sent this issue to print, we were hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which turned the world, as we knew it upside down. The world stopped and we held our breaths, concerned about what is happening around us. We are full of contradictory feelings. From panic and fear for the health of our families and loved ones to concern for the future of our businesses, economy and education. On the other hand, the virus achieved what seemed impossible: it stood in the way of the galloping consumerism.
