Culture-driven social resilience. A practical toolkit and casebook for municipalities to take action

BSR Cultural Pearls project partner the Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture (NDPC) has just released a new publication that gives municipalities clear, practical methods for using culture to build stronger, more resilient communities: ‘Culture-Driven Social Resilience: A Practical Toolkit & Casebook for Municipalities to Take Action’.

Produced by Creative Insights Studio (Sweden), the publication explains how towns and cities can work systematically with local cultural actors. The material also highlights real-life examples of municipalities collaborating with creatives, featuring our 2024 and 2025 Cultural Pearls and the pilot activities they implemented through the project’s seed money initiative.
