The ‘Cycle of Resilience’ is a series of activities aimed at involving students to build societal resilience through non-formal education amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. ESU has already implemented 2 training courses allowing students to reflect on their local realities and foster positive action through an emphasis on youth participation, human rights, social inclusion and democratic citizenship. At the same time, participants had the opportunity to learn more about how to design and implement projects and campaigns. After the 2 practical training courses, participants and any other students willing to participate can apply for our grant and set up their own project or action to help build a more inclusive and resilient recovery in their own communities by fostering social inclusion. Apply for our grant!
