In 2020 the world had to come together to face the biggest pandemic in modern history. To be overcame, it required a spirit of collaboration, solidarity and resilience. In today’s world the status of global health is not out of all risks. The lesson learned from 2020 is that in order to keep the planet healthy and safe we need to keep fostering collaboration in the field research, in innovation, and open up a discussion on how some types of health, like mental health, have been too often underestimated and stigmatized especially for minorities. In 2024 some key questions remain: how do we keep fostering a sense of solidarity and collaboration in crucial sectors like that of health? How do we build collective resilience in the face of all the challenges we are facing? And how do we create a conversation about healing as a collective?
