5x How do you experience the pandemic? Eriss Khajira

How do young people from different countries cope with the pandemic? How does it affect their education and their work? What about flexibility and creativity and last but not least: what about involvement in policy making? In a series of 5 short video portraits young people pick up the camera to share their thoughts and experiences.

Eriss Khajira (31), documentary filmmaker and social activist is the third to answer these questions. From her home town Nairobi in Kenya she tells us how her life has changed because of COVID-19.
