‘Together apart. Mobility in times of COVID-19’ is a collection of personal testimonies about how different people experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and especially how it impacted their ability to move freely.
It is a project developed jointly by the European Parliament’s ‘My House of European History’ online platform and the House of European History museum.

Fifteen people from Italy, Romania and Sweden, at different stages of their lives, share how lockdown and COVID-19 restrictions changed their daily lives following the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.
You can find and watch their stories in all 24 EU languages on the ‘My House of European History’ platform.
