Pathways to Resilience IV: Global South Perspectives

Social Resilience in Danish Schools
Presenter: Jeppe Kiel Christensen (Aarhus University, Denmark)
Introduction: In an investigation of the increasing consensus that resilience can be learned and developed, the poster focuses on Danish schools’ opportunities to create and retain strengthening and supportive environments. A special focus will be on the collaboration with Save the Children Denmark and the learning material STRONG TOGETHER.
Methods:  The project consists of a literature review and fieldwork, which together form the basis of a study in Nordic Social Resilience. The literature review consists of Nordic initiatives/theories, describing the work with social resilience thus far. 
Findings:  The poster will display the current design and regional specific assumptions on Nordic Social Resilience. An explanation on the theory and practical knowledge behind STRONG TOGETHER as well as initial findings from pilot-school interviews and workshops. A follow up presentation at PTR V is planned, so comments are encouraged.
