Alexandra and Irina, twin sisters from Romania, were eager to start the new semester at university. But their university year turned out very differently than they had expected.

Following the outbreak of the pandemic, all their classes moved online and the twins found themselves confined at home. How did they cope with the online learning experience?

Watch Alexandra and Irina tell their story in the interview they gave for ‘Together apart’ in June 2021.

‘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 @HouseOfEuropeanHistory 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.
