Workshop “Solidarity and Resilience”

This workshop focuses on the importance of solidarity and resilience. Participants will learn more about the concepts of solidarity and resilience in simple and accessible ways. They will be encouraged to reflect on how these values appear in their own lives, communities, and contexts, and to share personal or observed experiences that illustrate them.

What is this workshop about?

This self-guided workshop introduces young people to the ideas of solidarity and resilience through reflection, real-life examples, and simple group activities. The goal is not to fully define or understand these broad concepts, but to spark curiosity, encourage questions, and help participants relate these values to their own lives.

By working together and exploring everyday situations, the group will consider how people and communities support one another during difficult times – and how even small actions can make a difference. The session connects local experiences to wider social and European challenges, encouraging participants to reflect on what solidarity and resilience might look like in their own context
