What?

We are very excited to be working with other organizations from Germany and Poland on the topic of skills for crises and resilience starting in Winter 2024/2025 ! We are interested in strengthening resilience not only in the context of pandemics, climate crises, and war, but also wherever communities are increasingly unable to rely on the welfare state and liberal democracy. The project involves developing and conducting training courses and workshops, creating zines/booklets, and publishing several podcast episodes.

The handbook developed as part of the project is now available for pre-order. Its 60 pages contain in-depth content and materials for your own activism or workshop practice, presented in a clear and concise format.
You will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities for activists in making the topic of crisis discussable and manageable, as well as concrete descriptions of methods.
This is based on the five workshops that were developed and the results of the project.

During the first half of the project, a kick-off event was held, research was conducted, topics were identified, content discussions were held, and groups were formed to begin working on the development of workshops.

As the project progresses, much of the focus will be on implementing the workshops (online and in Germany, Poland, and Austria), developing a zine about crisis skills, and producing podcast episodes.
