BUILDING RESILIENCE AND EMPOWERMENT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES
In the last years the organization has been focusing a lot on self-development and individual processes.
We also live in a very individualistic society and in an ego-centred culture, where the satisfaction of the individual needs come first. Nowadays, Europe is living one of the biggest immigration phenomenon, while many countries have not recovered from the economical crises. The consequence is that much more people want to access to a limited amount of
resources.
How do we deal with collective needs and rights? How can we respond to it as a community and not only as individual? What is the role that youth workers can play? This TC aims to answer to these questions!
