As our communities navigate the current COVID-19 crisis -- staying apart to stop the spread of the virus, while coming together to support one another -- MINN is here to help you access the resources you need to stay connected. 

We’ll be updating this blog post regularly with upcoming virtual events from members of our community, podcasts and reading material to help you grow your global development expertise from the comfort of your home.

We want your input! Please share digital events, articles, podcasts, or other resources relevant to the MINN community to [email protected].
