As a restaurant manager, Nicolò travelled frequently for work. But, the pandemic quickly put a stop to that and he found himself in the unenviable position of managing a new restaurant in the middle of a lockdown. In this episode of 'Migrant Lives in Pandemic Times', Nicolò describes how this experience affected him.
Migrant Lives in Pandemic Times is a digital storytelling project produced by the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Migration and Integration at Ryerson University (Toronto) and the media non-profit organization Migration Matters (Berlin). Recorded during the summer of 2021, the project presents both personal testimony and expert analysis to explore how the everyday realities of 12 migrants from across the globe have changed during the pandemic. From a Chilean pandemic home-school tutor in Oakland, California, to a Senegalese street seller in Bilbao, Spain, the stories give voice to those missing in media and public debate with the aim to build solidarity and inform policy across borders.
