Emotional resilience is the ability to 'bounce back' after stress and adversity. In this workshop, we will explore how we, as activists working for social and ecological justice, can strengthen our resilience and what we can do to prevent or cope with burnout. This training is open to anyone who works or has worked in an NGO that is part of the climate or social justice movement. This training is organised on the request of Friends of the Earth Europe and several of their staff will be participating.
Feros is a Belgian collective that organises activities around emotional resilience, inclusiveness and feminist self-defence. Through our activities, we support individuals and groups / collectives / organisations working for social and ecological justice. In all our activities, we combine methods that engage participants at the level of heart (emotions), head (thinking and concepts) and hands (practical experience / embodiment).
