Bringing together stories of strength, innovation, and hope from our community in Washington State during the COVID-19 pandemic, this online experience creates a forum for connection, empathy, and healing.

Exploring the challenges, inequities, creativity, and community spirit arising during the pandemic, the experience highlights stories under five main themes: Fighting and Treating COVID-19, Spreading Joy and Healing, Sharing Critical Information, Meeting the Needs of Communities, and Essential Workers Meeting Everyday Needs.

Explore the experience online now, and in the Gates Foundation Discovery Center’s galleries when it reopens to the public (TBD).

 

Building on the virtual exhibition Enduring COVID-19: Stories from our Transforming World, this physical exhibition will spotlight first-person stories of individuals contributing to the community good. Hear from essential workers, community leaders, scientists, Gates Foundation staff, grantees, and youth about their hope for the future, scientific innovations, and lessons learned locally and globally from COVID-19.
