Resilience: What Hopeful Change is Emerging from the Pandemic?
August 17, 2021
Intention
We are getting started on our Visualizing Community Resilience Collaboration by inviting GLEN members and others to spend some time sharing about hopeful developments they see now. As tough as times have been, communities and organizations are responding. We'd like to appreciate how.
Part of resilience is being able to generate new growth and approaches to situations that are hopeful and can replicate in regenerative ways. This will be a chance to identify some of these developments and also get visual reflection back from the International Forum of Visual Practitioners Community.
