SHORT ADVANCED PROGRAMME

RUN-EU Sustainable Development – Social Enterprise Challenge


1 October 2021

There are a number of communities implementing positive change when it comes to building local resilience. Sometimes this change is being implemented in the face of or as a result of unsuitable policies stemming from a top-down central approach rather than policies that consider local particulars or the needs from a bottom-up approach in certain policy areas. More can be done to empower communities by building their capacity to implement changes. This could then allow them to have a positive impact on their community in terms of maintaining a sustainable and proactive community.

Increased awareness is needed around the beneficial impacts of such an approach and help is needed for communities to identify and equip themselves with the knowledge, skill sets and competencies to develop sustainable communities that are best set to adapt, maintain and protect their environment and make places that people will be able to live, work and visit.
