CO-AGENCY
The contemporary time
has disrupted the capacity to hope for the future, to trust and cooperate with others which are perceived as a threat to be kept away. From our point of view, the co-agency capacity must be rebuilt and regenerate. |
NARRATIVES OF HOPE
We are strongly inspired by the concept of active prevention of social vulnerability and by the concept of Amartya Sen's "capabilities". Capabilities are the real freedoms that people have, to achieve their potential doings and beings.
Narratives of hope have proven essential for social resilience |
SOCIAL RESILIENCE
Social resilience refers to the capacity of individuals, groups, communities, and nations ‘‘to secure favourable outcomes (material, symbolic, emotional) under new circumstances and when necessary by new means, even when this entails significant modifications to behaviour or to the social frameworks that structure and give meaning to behaviour’’.
