We are there: community foundations in emergency response and recovery (11 June 2026, 11:00–12:30 CEST)
How do communities respond when disruption and crisis hit? This thematic meeting explores lessons from We Are There: community foundations in emergency response and recovery and opens a wider conversation about trust, relationships, local action and relational infrastructure during times of uncertainty. Together with practitioners, researchers and locally rooted organisations from across Europe, we will reflect on what enables communities to respond, adapt and stay connected under pressure.
