This programme contributed to:  

(1) Co-design a curriculum with ECON members titled “Organizing in Crisis: A curriculum for community organizers” to educate community organisers, trainers, activists, adult educators and other professionals to organise and support communities in times of crisis online and offline and to take actions at local, national and transnational level. It includes frameworks, tools, practices, case studies to understand, prepare and develop a sense of agency so that adult educators could assist groups and communities in need more professionally and respond more effectively to moments of crisis. The curriculum aims to develop the ability to understand crisis as a danger and opportunity; recognize one’s own agency in relation to moments of crisis; be proactive around crisis preparation for its own sake; and because it is a tool for building relationships and achieving political goals. It is available in 6 languages (English, Polish, Slovak, Serbian, Hungarian, Romanian).

(2) Develop an online simulation titled “Let’s organise! Together through crisis” for organizers, adult educators, trainers, local leaders and other professionals supporting groups and communities affected by crises. Its main goal is to introduce participants to community organizing in times of crisis. Through the simulation, participants are able to experience major challenges of community organizing processes and actions taken at local, regional and national level. The simulation can be used in organizing trainings and it is designed for 6-20 participants (with one moderator), but it can be extended to more. The simulation can last from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of participants and available time. It is available in 6 languages (English, Polish, Slovak, Serbian, Hungarian, Romanian).
