Building Resourceful and Resilient Communities through Adaptive and Transformative Environmental Practice

In RECOMS community resilience constituted the capacity of a community to adopt, respond to and embed/normalise practices of resourcefulness into everyday life. This ensures that transformations at the level of the everyday, produce enhanced levels of resilience during acute crises. The purpose of RECOMS was to train 15 ESRs in innovative, transdisciplinary and transformative approaches to promote and facilitate resourceful and resilient community environmental practice. As a direct outcome in full accordance with the original aims of the project, the 15 ESRs have been: -Equipped with advanced knowledge, expertise and experience in how to nurture and support the co-production of resourceful and resilient community environmental practice. -Trained in transdisciplinary scientific techniques supportive of investigating the emergent nature of community-led practices of resourcefulness and resilience, including how they unfold across different social and cultural groupings in space and time. -Upskilled in applying a multi-method approach with a particular emphasis on participatory and creative visualisation techniques, whilst retaining sensitivity to differentiation at a local level via on-going appreciation of the value of different knowledge cultures, experiences and situated forms of ‘know-how’ in community practice. -Capable of establishing new forms of creative, visual methods for reviewing, recording, communicating and exchanging knowledge on the outcomes of resourceful and resilient community environmental practice across a range of different audiences. -Expert critical thinkers on both the conceptualisation and (co-creative) practicing of community resourcefulness and resilience, including as a means of enabling and supporting the engagement of a range of other stakeholders. -Equipped, as practitioners of sustainability science and innovators in creative forms of communication and visualisation, for their choice of public, private or third sector career pathways. -Advanced in nurturing transformative practice and thinking, specialized in resilient and resourceful forms of collaborative environmental resource management. -Capable of playing a leading role in establishing long-term collaborations in research and training and between science, civil society, policy, NGO’s and private stakeholders, extending beyond the lifetime of RECOMS. -Established in increasing awareness among the general public via stakeholder participation, open access scientific publication, etc.
