The COVID-19 pandemic impacted nearly all aspects of our lives, gatherings and events. Suddenly, out of an abundance of caution, we couldn’t attend or host events anymore, personal or professional. Thankfully, as the year has progressed, we have found ways to meet safely.
For the CCED Team, one of our favorite events to host is the Poverty Simulation. Of course, many of our Poverty Simulations were put on hold this year due to COVID safety measures and restrictions. Typically, these events facilitate groups well over 30 people. We move throughout large rooms, set to resemble a real town. We interact with each other, as families and neighbors.
