What is social resilience to us?
We understand social resilience as the ability of every person, as well as communities, institutions, and the environment we live in, to maintain well-being. It includes personal resources such as mental and physical health, skills, and values, as well as external resources like social relationships, culture, public spaces, the environment, and access to information.
Let’s build it together
Social resilience is especially important in times of change, a fast pace of life, and modern challenges. We want to support skills that help us understand reality, adapt to change, survive crises, and grow in a sustainable way.
Through constant learning and creating innovative, long-term solutions, we can build a healthy society and good places to live. That is why strong social bonds, trust, teamwork, local community engagement, and a sense of agency are key to building social resilience.
