About The Virtual Town Hall Event Series

Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

Students of all ages are navigating uncharted territory during an unprecedented time in history as the coronavirus crisis forces schools to close and students to adjust to new and uncertain routines. Facing a migration to virtual learning environments, the loss of access to critical in-school resources, and the disruption of their social lives, students may be feeling more disconnected than ever. We invite students (particularly middle and high school grades) to join reporters from The Great Divide, the Boston Globe's investigative team for education and inequality, in a weekly virtual town hall organized in collaboration with area students. These virtual forums will create space for students to share their experiences, connect with peers, pose questions to an adult support network, and offer their own suggestions and ideas on how they would like to see their schools and communities support them at this time.

About the Event

The first panel will examine these issues from a business/technological standpoint, and the second panel will dive into the implications on policy and politics. Panelists, made up of a combination of mayors, policy makers, academia and industry leaders, will discuss the future of work and the likely impact of automation, innovation, and other trends on cities across the United States.
