Crisis interventions often focus on a single aspect of a big, complicated problem, failing to address the broader social and economic context. Kwame Owusu-Kesse describes how the Harlem Children's Zone is taking a more holistic approach to the pandemic, weaving together a network of services to help communities recover and rebuild. Learn more about their comprehensive COVID-19 relief and recovery response focused on five primary areas of need — and their plans to scale it across the US. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

      Все научное сообщество всегда ратует за доступность знаний. И не зря.
      Но не всем дуракам и жмотам дано это понять… Жаль. Очень жаль, ТЭД.

    • @zzzGoRzzz Я вообще не понимаю, чего они этим добиваются? Надеются, что те, кто смотрел в озвучке, сразу придут на этот канал?
      Нет, они просто уйдут искать инфу в другие места. Ни нашим ни вашим это называется ((
