The Community Engagement Office at CEU invites all CEU members to a creative contest dedicated to the topic of
“RESILIENCE”.
All the challenges from the last year from pandemics to wildfires, pro-democracy protests in various countries to natural disasters, financial market crashes to the BLM protests, man-made disasters like the Beirut explosion to farmer’s protests in India, new political divides and security threats to migration crises, our considerations of risk have grown from a societal to national to regional to global levels. In view of these challenges contemporary societies require a “broad” or “general” concept of resilience which is trans-disciplinary and applicable to multiple contexts. Resilience has been interpreted as the ability of a system to manage crises with its own sources and in turn to even exploit them for self-developing and self-improving purposes.
Use any of the two mentioned mediums below to highlight “what makes a society and individual resilient”? A highly resilient society needs synergies among technical good practices, social protection, efficient natural resource management, adaptive governance, just institutions, politically active citizens. Show us with visuals and your ideas how local culture can play an important part in rebuilding a sense of community after a disaster, or maybe how your local communities have developed climate resilient agriculture. Let us know how work on mental health reaps benefits as a resilient society etc.
Winning works will be selected for the online exhibition and special prizes sponsored by CEU.
