Theme:

Risk & Resilience -finding solutions and creating policy in the context of crisis.

Dear All,

 
we are glad to invite you to join us for an interactive educational event – policy and lobby lab “Risk and Resilience” which will be held from 23 to 24 March 2022, as a unique collaboration between the International Sociology Symposium “Risk society: Rethinking uncertainties in a globalised world” and the largest research project on COVID-19 and social resilience carried out by the Institute for Social Research during the last two years.
 
We live in a time of crisis – economic, health, military, pandemic, climate – in the midst of which the matrix has fallen and new policies and systems must be designed, advocated and implemented.  The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed social reality and left a number of consequences at the economic, social and environmental levels. It is crucial to find new ways to rebuild and sustain social resilience, defined as a concept that encompasses individuals, organizations and communities (or society itself) and their ability and capacity to cope with and adapt to threats that may be social and/or environmental in nature. In the procedural (policy) sense, resilience is most often defined as three steps of applying capacities and resources in relation to the crisis, namely: endurance during the crisis, quick response to the crisis and recovery from the crisis. 
 
Policy lab is a day and a half workshop where you will have the opportunity to work in groups on conceptual solutions for a particular problem according to the topics that interest you, consult with experts in the field, present and lobby the idea for resilience within public policies in Croatia. Topics we will approach are green development and energy, mental health and human rights, security and food production. 
 
Please find the agenda below and join us in designing the new normal!
