Céline joined swissinfo.ch in 2018 as video journalist for the 'Nouvo in English' project, just after graduating from the Academie du journalisme et des medias (AJM) at the University of Neuchâtel. Originally from Ticino, she's been filming, writing and interviewing people all over Switzerland since she got her first reporter badge at 11 during a school camp.
The coronavirus pandemic has had all our habits thrown up in the air. It’s estimated that one billion people worldwide have been asked to stay at home as much as possible. Shops, bars and cinemas are closed. People have been asked to keep at least two metres distance from each other.
It’s hard not to talk about coronavirus these days: it’s affecting relationships, the economy, the environment, and our physical and mental health. To avoid drowning under all the sad and bad news, I’ve decided to gather positive experiences from our readers and social media followers.
Every episode is made up of the ‘silver linings’ you’re finding in the current difficult situation, so don’t hesitate to share some positivity with us! Let’s spread it around. To feature in one of the episodes, send your video, or a picture and voice message, to celine.stegmueller@swissinfo.ch.
