Time to #StayHome with Eurodesk
 

Eurodesk has always been promoting European mobility and dialogue amongst young Europeans. In those exceptional times, we are encouraging you to stay home. Of course, this does not prevent you from experiencing Europe!

Be informed! In times of fake news, Eurodesk built a new section on its website which puts together the main information coming from official sources (as the World Health Organisation). If you feel lost with the conflicting info available, you are more than welcome to check it out!

Keep active! On the Portal, you'll also find 10 suggestions for things you can do from home that will help you cope with the quarantine as well as a collection of European e-learning resources.

Think about others! By staying home, you stay safe but you also show solidarity with others, especially the most vulnerable citizens. Want to do more? Many governments, civil society organisations and citizens are organising solidarity actions around Europe. Check this article for more and look around for such initiatives!
