This brief illustrates, proponents and practitioners of ICD were quick to adapt to this crisis situation and shifted much of their activities online in order to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic. The shift has ensured that cross-cultural exchange, mutual support and intergroup solidarity, all key dimensions of the ICD approach, can be maintained in safe online contexts and thus continue to play a key role within the socio-cultural response to COVID-19.
Through inductive exploration of authentic, local, community responses to the COVID-19 crisis, this brief aims to shed light on the new context in which the ICD agenda is being pursued, complementing the many existing quantitative analyses of the socio-cultural impact of the pandemic.
