We are a growing community of persons working in partnership programs, be it between schools in SADC countries and Germany, universities, NGOs, church-based organizations, municipalities, etc. In one way or another, we have all been active in solidarity work over many years. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our activities, events and travels were cancelled. We have been forced to think out of the box, to explore new ways of expressing our commitment to strengthen and expand our activities. The different ways in which we were affected by the pandemic sensitized us once again for issues which affect our lives economically, socially and politically irrespective of the country we live in.
As Solidarity Network, consisting of members from the SADC region and Germany, we want to hold our first SGSN conference in May - online, due to travel restrictions.
