Dear RIPE community,

We thought we would provide an update on the RIPE Community Resilience and Wellbeing session we held 2 weeks ago.

It was a really constructive session with lots of good ideas. Participants shared the challenges they’ve been facing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the positives of engaging more online.

Participants also came up with helpful tips and practices for dealing with home working such as joining a book club, regular wellbeing sessions, packing away the home office in the evenings and ‘cycling to work’ from home and back.

We will be holding a follow up session in September after the summer break and for this session we will be inviting a guest speaker. If you have any suggestions of who could speak on wellbeing and mentalhealth, please email: trustedcontact@ripe.net.

We will provide more details about the September session nearer the time, hope to see you then.

Regards,

Erik Bais
