Why ResiliEurope
ResiliEurope promoted intercultural dialogue and the participation of European citizens in the life of the European Union by connecting solidarity with resilience. In a period marked by the Covid-19 crisis and its social and economic effects, the project focused on the ability of communities to organise, adapt and respond without losing cohesion.
The network brought together citizens from EU Member States and from countries involved in the Union’s enlargement perspective, giving local authorities and civil society organisations a shared arena for discussion and mutual learning.
Core approach
Resilience, insularity and solidarity were treated as interconnected dimensions of conscious European citizenship. The project encouraged comparison between different territories, economies and experiences, looking for common responses inspired by the founding values of the European Union.
Main objectives
- Strengthen European identity, solidarity and citizens’ participation.
- Create structured dialogue between local authorities, associations and citizens.
- Give visibility to island and territorial perspectives within the European debate.
- Exchange experiences on crisis response, migration, climate change, youth engagement and social cohesion.
- Build a durable European network capable of continuing cooperation beyond individual events.
Focus Europe
The project proposal was developed with the technical contribution of Focus Europe, which also participated in the partnership and supported the European networking and implementation process.
