DATE: 21–23 November 2022
LOCATION: The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, 17. listopadu 2, Prague 1 (https://goo.gl/maps/9aZfXmCvmMyDjcST6)
The Facets of Resilience conference focuses on the topic of social resilience and its various layers and practical applications. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the principles of general resilience theory, the different areas for which the topic of resilience is relevant today, and the specific practices that strengthen social resilience.
The aim of this three-day gathering is to develop a framework for promoting policies, based on robust scientific knowledge, that bolster social resilience in the face of the most serious challenges affecting us today.
The conference, featuring a number of leading international and national academics and experts, combines different formats of interaction: lectures, panel discussions, participatory workshops, an artistic performance, and open space, focusing on the following areas:
• Resilience of democracy
• Paradigm shifts in the Anthropocene
• Transformations of communities, organisations, and norms
• Resilience of democratic institutions
• Sources of Social Resilience: Trust, Meaning, and Communication
• Social cohesion, care, and human rights
• Poverty and dignity
• Living culture as a tool for social resilience
