RESOURCES
We hope you’ve found inspiration in these pages and are now (more) eager to apply these learnings in your own life and work, both personally and in community initiatives! We are keen to support the knowledge and capacity building to reach wider audience who will continue to build on this work.
Here you can tune into our Podcast which features some of the representatives in the Community of Practice sharing their own stories of how they arrived in this project, the insights gained along the way, and some visions they have for next steps. Get a glimpse of an Online Course we plan to offer in the future which will steward a similar process to the one this project navigated. Explore the Resilience companion cards as a tool to more deeply understand the attributes of resilience while you explore and map your own or your community’s resilience.
And finally, find even more inspiration in the next steps of this work as we begin to frame the follow-up project, Keystone Communities, which will widen and deepen the impact started here. It will allow us to include more people and communities, provide new learning opportunities, and continue to weave knowledge exchange and solidarity throughout the GEN network.
Community Resilience Podcast
Welcome to Community Resilience, a podcast created in collaboration with the Ecovillage Resilience 2.5 degree project, facilitated by the Global Ecovillage Network. Join us for a listening trip around the world, as we hear from ecovillages and experts and explore resilience, adaptation, and transformation in our time of deepening polycrisis addresing the ups and downs of building an ecovillage, opening a space to learn from each other’s vulnerabilities.
Weaving Resilience Course
Building on insights, tools and capacities built through our exploration in the ‘Ecovillages 2.5+: Community Resilience in the Face of Catastrophic Climate Change’ project, this project will reflect our ongoing commitment to scale and amplify the capacity of local communities to be resilient sources of wider transformation able to function also when larger systems falter or collapse.
Resilience Companion Cards
How would the ecovillage model and map of regeneration change if we integrated what we are learning about resilience?
To explore this question, we have drafted a new set of ecovillage principles that blend the map of regeneration and the attributes and indicators of community resilience that we have developed.
We aim to offer these in as many languages as possible.
