Skills for Crisis – about the project
The ‘Skills for Crisis’ project acknowledges that ecological tipping points, social collapse and multiple crises have been reached. They will be and already are our reality. The world as we know it is coming to an end. Embracing this thought, faces us as individuals, but also our communities with questions, feelings and processes, forcing us to leave our known ground of “solving” and “saving”.
Together we want to explore what civil society organisations, our communities and social movements need in order to react and act in Solidarity to crises. We want to learn from the past, support healing in the present and shape the way we enter the future.
For one year, we collected and discussed existing knowledge and practices about crises and developed workshops based on five streams of thoughts.
The Streams of Thought were:
- Strengthening Civil Society Work: Mutual Aid
- Re-Centering Mental Health in Times of Social Collapse and Multiple Crises
- Fighting for Transnational Justice: How to struggle together?
- Understanding the Path: How to Support People with Refugee Experience in Times of Crisis of Solidarity
- Solidarity in the face of climate disasters: Mutual aid as an antidote
