The ”Breathing Together” Program, a model of solidarity during the pandemic

Abstract

"Breathing together" is a generous program, initiated with an open heart and offered free of charge by Romanian artists, with all those in need in mind. It is a strong expression of solidarity towards those who have gone through the ordeal of COVID-19, but also towards the doctors and medical staff, who were on the front line of defending health and lives during the pandemic. The artists made the decision not to remain indifferent to what is happening around, but, on the contrary, to be actively involved, directing attention from the disease to methods and means of overcoming suffering and giving from what they are and what they know, for a higher quality of life. They were joined by doctors, therapists and instructors, clergy, aware that in difficult moments only by involving everyone and "together" can we succeed.
