RESILIENT COMMUNITIES: Pillars of Sustainable Rural Development
Summary of the content and its utility
This is the 15th Thematic Guide in the Euracademy series. It exploits the lectures, case studies and discussions held in the 16th Summer Academy, held in Middleton, Cork, Ireland, from 3rd to 8th September 2017, organised in cooperation with SECAD Partnership. This Thematic Guide aims to explore, together with the reader, such questions as:
What are the definitions of resilience and how can they apply to rural Europe? What are the converging economic and ecological challenges rural communities in Europe face today? What are the links between resilience and sustainable rural development? What are the changes in lifestyle rural communities need to bring about in order to become more resilient? What can we learn about resilient communities from best practices in Europe and elsewhere in the world? How can we identify community resources and needs, and design an environment from which creativity and collective effort can emerge? How can we propose strategies and models to shift current policies to support and foster community resilience? What are the steps a rural community needs to take in order to establish a resilience-building plan?
