<p>This guidebook serves as an introduction <strong>for local and regional authorities</strong> who want to strengthen and empower their communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>We believe that strong, capable and engaged communities can create liveable, well-managed cities prepared for the future. They ensure better lives for their inhabitants, allow for better decision-making, and ultimately create resilient societies able to withstand and overcome challenges.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>The Guidebook gives answers to the following questions:</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What is social resilience? </li>



<li>How does culture build social resilience? </li>



<li>Why participation matters? </li>



<li>Where do I start? – <em>The Culture &amp; Resilience Action Plan</em> </li>
</ul>



<p>It also provides examples and inspiration. </p>

<p>Niniejszy przewodnik stanowi wprowadzenie dla władz lokalnych i regionalnych, które chcą wzmocnić i usamodzielnić swoje społeczności.</p>



<p>Wierzymy, że silne, zdolne i zaangażowane społeczności mogą tworzyć miasta nadające się do życia, dobrze zarządzane i przygotowane na przyszłość. Zapewniają lepsze życie swoim mieszkańcom, pozwalają na lepsze podejmowanie decyzji i ostatecznie tworzą odporne społeczeństwa, które są w stanie wytrzymać i pokonać wyzwania.</p>



<p>Przewodnik udziela odpowiedzi na następujące pytania:</p>



<p>• Czym jest odporność społeczna?</p>



<p>• W jaki sposób kultura buduje odporność społeczną?</p>



<p>• Dlaczego uczestnictwo ma znaczenie?</p>



<p>• Od czego zacząć? – Plan działania na rzecz kultury i odporności</p>



<p>Zawiera również przykłady i inspirację.</p>

<p>Šis ceļvedis paredzēts kā ievads vietējām un reģionālajām pašvaldībām, kas vēlas stiprināt savas kopienas un sniegt tām iespējas.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Mēs ticam, ka stipras, aktīvas un līdzatbildīgas kopienas var radīt daudz dzīvotspējīgas, labi pārvaldītas un nākotnei sagatvotas pilsētas. Tās nodrošina labāku dzīvi saviem iedzīvotājiem, ļauj labāk pieņemt lemumus un galu galā rada noturīgu sabiedrību, kas spēj izturēt un pārvarēt izaicinājumus. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Šis ceļvedis sniedz atbildes uz šādiem jautājumiem:</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Kas ir sociālā noturība?<strong> </strong></li>



<li>Kā kultūra veido sociālo noturību?</li>



<li>Kāpēc līdzdalība ir svarīga?</li>



<li>Ar ko sākt? Kultūras un noturības rīcības plāns</li>
</ul>



<p>Tas sniedz arī piemērus un iedvesmu.</p>

<p>Dieser Leitfaden dient als Einführung für lokale und regionale Behörden, die ihre Gemeinden stärken und fördern wollen. Wir glauben, dass starke, befähigte und engagierte Gemeinschaften lebenswerte, an den Bedürfnissen der Bürger<em>innen orientierte Städte schaffen können, die für die Zukunft gerüstet sind. Sie sorgen für ein besseres Leben ihrer Einwohner</em>innen, ermöglichen eine bessere Entscheidungsfi ndung und schaffen letztlich resiliente Gesellschaften, die in der Lage sind, Herausforderungen zu widerstehen und zu überwinden.<br></p>



<p><strong>Das Guidebook gibt Antworten auf die folgenden Fragen:</strong></p>



<p>Was ist soziale Resilienz?<br>Wie schafft Kultur soziale Resilienz?<br>Warum ist Partizipation wichtig?<br>Wo fange ich an? – Der Aktionsplan Kultur &amp; Resilienz</p>
