Wild, weird, challenging, monumental, rocky, ‘what the hell?!’ – there are lots of ways to describe 2020. It’s been a big year for humanity. And for many, the effects of COVID-19 – physical distancing, social isolation, job loss, financial instability, and all-round uncertainty – have taken a toll on our mental health. And while the world’s not out of the woods yet, we know what we need to do to look after each other: the key is connection. Checking in on each other, staying connected, knowing the signs of someone who’s struggling and knowing how to reach out.
As we’ve navigated the year’s challenges, we’ve seen people all over the world adapt to new ways of communicating, innovative ways of staying connected, out-of-the-box takes on community connection – and it’s been pretty damn inspiring. It’s paved the way for Movember’s new Social Connections Challenge – a national search for fresh and exciting digital ideas that address social isolation. An idea that responds to right now – an idea with legs that can carry it into the future, far beyond COVID-19 and the challenges of 2020. So, what’s your big idea?
