Really interesting questions and comments! I suppose as human beings, in whatever context, we like control and we don't like unpredictability! (Even less in a culture which is fiercely competitive and targets-driven.) Two more…"

Community Resilience: update and some thoughts
I've today been looking at some articles and resources on community resilience that are new - and that folk have flagged up since we wrote up 'exploring community resilience' last year, in particular from Australia and New Zealand which seems a hotbed of innovation in this area. I thought I'd offer a brief summary of what I've found discovered and would welcome tips on more resources...

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your interest in the book. It would be great to do an event around it early next year - in a way that mutually complements your work and mine. Maybe we could do a short version of the IFF World Game around a them of interest to local Fiery Spirits.
let me know when you see a possibility shaping up.
best wishes
Tony

Rachel Francis said… Nick, thanks,
So, inspired by your book ... my thoughts
There is an old adage "Starting where your audience is" ... I think there is more to be explored on that point ... how groups might frame the narrative of community resilience in all kinds of situations and for all kinds of people. How we might construct our locally appropriate story of community resilience.
We are not all in communities where shared purpose is brought into focus eg by a visible emergency, so how do we take the vision of resilience and make it clear and compelling for Mrs Jones ... and Dan Brown ...so that it spreads from platform to platform in the community and begins to shape public opinion/support structural change. I think this is about framing the story so that it spreads.
