Results Webinar I: Social Integration & Resilience (Cosight & Chios Labs)

to
Online
Chios

The FutuResilience project funded ten labs that bring together multiple stakeholders to co-create evidence-informed policies aimed at strengthening societal resilience against various crises. Emphasizing knowledge valorisation for policy uptake, the labs served as experimental spaces for policy testing, using a diverse range of approaches and tools with a strong focus on future-oriented thinking. 

Over approximately 15 months, each lab began by defining concrete challenges, mapping key stakeholders, and exploring how these challenges might evolve over time by developing different scenarios. With a focus on enhancing societal preparedness, the labs’ stakeholders collaborated to design evidence-based policy actions capable of addressing the initial challenges across multiple plausible future scenarios. 

This webinar series marks a key milestone and an opportunity to showcase the process and insights gained from the different labs, highlighting their results, methodologies, outputs, and key lessons learnt. In particular, this webinar will focus on two labs, CHIOS & COSIGHT, which approach different aspects of a shared challenge: the urgent socio-economic and governance issues arising from migration crisis and social conflicts, offering practical tools and policy insights to enhance societal resilience. 

Webinar 1

The CHIOS Lab has focused on planning and developing a strategy to strengthen the ability to respond to crises that currently merge, as well as considering those that might need to be addressed in the future. This will be accomplished by considering multiple areas for action (social protection, community engagements, health provision, schooling, financial considerations and budgeting), contributing to strengthening the resilience of the administrations but also the society. 

The COSIGHT Lab has promoted resilience in Hamburg’s society and beyond by enhancing societal competences to deal with future changes and challenges resulting from the multiple crises we all face. The network of non-profit organizations behind the Lab aims to foster societal resilience by creating spaces for human encounters and facilitating targeted exchanges on contentious topics among diverse citizens with different backgrounds, opinions, incomes, ages, and education levels. The COSIGHT Lab aims to co-create solutions and future-oriented (positive) scenarios together with citizens, civil society, and policymakers. The Lab focuses on the interrelations between social conflicts and societal resilience in the context of migration.
