Hi everyone

A generous invitation from our European colleagues who have shifted their usual meeting time 'in order to open up the opportunity to participate for our colleagues from Asia, Australia, New Zealand  on Friday, April 30 at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/692277692 to discuss the idea of a Global Research Study.'

Just to give you some glimpses of background:

  *   a group of community psychologists from Europe and US started to meet weekly after the pandemic hit the globe to find out how we could strengthen community resilience and empowerment in times of pandemic and global crises. as a next step we developed the ’New Bank for Community Ideas and Solutions’ (http://www.ecpa-online.com/new-bank/), because we have been impressed by the wealth of solidarity we could see in many stories from communities all over the planet.
  *   as a part of this we started to share our ideas and draft papers before publishing in order to initiate a ‚Community Research Open Platform‘ for open debate and sharing
  *   as we also have been impressed by many presentations during the Melbourne CP conference, we started to think about ‚what if.. we would launch a global project on community resilience in times of pandemics.
  *   based on the Melbourne experience, it is crucial for us to collaborate with the global south and hear their voices, if we want to pursue the idea.

therefore, you are more than welcome to share your thoughts about our - perhaps weird - idea to learn globally and between cultures about community resilience and empowerment.

I will be happy to host a special meeting at 9am CEST/5pm AEST/7pm NZST. Please join us in zoom  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/692277692.

best wishes and hope to see you on Friday, April 30

Dear friends in community psychology,

hope you are well and safe! we did not meet for a while in this group (easter holidays and more), therefore it is time to share our hopes and concerns how communities all over the world are struggling and fighting, though stay strong and resilient in times of global crises. Therefore, it again will be an honor for me to invite you to our regular meeting Friday´s at 5pm CEST on ‚Community Psychology in Times of Pandemics‘ on Friday, April 30, 2021 at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/692277692. This will be our 25th meeting since we started in April 2020.

Please join us!
As we have started to share our ideas about global collaboration and 'what if... we would launch a ‚Global Research Study on Community Resilience in Times of Pandemics‘, Brad Olson and Leslie Hatch Gail from National Louis University (Chicago, Ill) and I tried to coordinate and choreograph our first sparks. we still believe we should join forces to analyze and get inspired by the wealth of community creativity and resilience. Let us discuss and plan for next steps - see draft attached.

Let us also share stories of succes from

  *   two webinars linking community psychologists from Europe and Latin America (Federico II, Naples and UMSA, Buenos Aires),
  *   next steps in the development of the New Bank for Community Ideas and Solutions (http://www.ecpa-online.com/new-bank/) and their first webinar (see video athttps://us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/W86VszeA-ltfycvLjYb3LwrR-tZ1K9-MJ3Mxz1DiG8yyTNbV3Cm_wGlR8fDtcmRyOYESTtIzu7zVAEYV.Bl5sPA44J879IVM4)
  *   the 4th CROP Workshop/Salon with Donata Francescato on a ‚Planetary Sense of Community‘ (see video at https://vimeo.com/540985214)
  *   and upcoming events like
  *   Jose Ornelas’ Webinar on ‚COVID and Deinstitutionalization‘ on April 29 (http://www.ecpa-online.com/ecpa-webinar-covid-19-desinstitutionalization-in-europe/)
  *   and the Oslo ECCP conference on June 1-4 (https://spark.adobe.com/page/6y3l8QOVbRS4Z/) with a special pre-conference workshop on `Community Resilience in Times of Pandemics’ (call see attached).

Please note:
in order to open up the opportunity to participate for our colleagues from Asia, Australia, New Zealand I will offer an additional meeting at Friday, April 30 at 9am at at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/692277692 to discuss the idea of a Global Research Study.
