5x How do you experience the pandemic? Yattara Alkassoum
How do young people from different countries cope with the pandemic? How does it affect their education and their work? What about flexibility and creativity and last but not least: what about involvement in policy making? In a series of 5 short video portraits young people pick up the camera to share their thoughts and experiences.
Yattara Alkassoum (26) is the fourth to answer these questions. He (still) works as a communications manager and is a member of the Mouvement d'Action des Jeunes (MAJ). From his home town Bamako in Mali he tells us how his life, and the lives of his friends, has changed because of COVID-19.
