Abstract
The article aims to reflect on the need to "building capabilities" for sensitivity and humanization, as an antidote to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. In a scenario marked by feelings of fear, helplessness, anguish, frailty, ignorance, moral blindness and insensitivity in the face of death, it becomes urgent and indispensable to create spaces for formative experiences that enable solidarity, acceptance, empathy, shared life, sense of belonging, social justice, and citizenship. The essay is a qualitative study, characterized as bibliographic and was anchored in the deductive-analytical method, based on the contributions of Martha Nussbaum and Giorgio Agamben; It proposes the idea of "building capacities" as an untransferable task of education to cultivate human sensitivity in the face of an overwhelming scenario provided by the pandemic.
