Resilience in Communities and Organisations

The workshop 'Anchoring Communities and Organisations in Resilience,' part of the Erasmus+ project Breakthrough for Resilience: People, Places and Communities, took place in February 2022.

​Surefoot led participants in the use of six community resilience tools:

• The Compass of Resilience
• Pro Action Café
• Big Lunch
• Sociocracy
• Time Banking,

and lastly, one tool that has been developed by our project partner in Greece, the Crossing, the Old Ship, and the Salt of Life. These tools are available at the project website. 

Participants actively engaged with the tools and identified ways they might help in their own communities. Some of the feedback given by participants:

"I hope to use Pro Action Cafe with group setting up community garden."

"I'll share the Sociocracy ideas this very week with a community led activity centre in a disadvantaged neighbourhood nearby."

"Sociocracy sounds like an interesting alternative to consensus decision-taking, and well worth trying out. Time banking is a simple idea that I may try with church community."

Our next step is to to record testimonies of people using resilience tools and create a series of short videos. If you want to help us out by doing a short interview about your journey of resilience, let us know! Please get in touch with Euri via [email protected]
