The ‘Skills for Crisis’ project acknowledges that ecological tipping points, social collapse and multiple crises have been reached. They will be and already are our reality. The world as we know it is coming to an end. Embracing this thought, faces us as individuals, but also our communities with questions, feelings and processes, forcing us to leave our known ground of “solving” and “saving”.

Together we want to explore what civil society organisations, our communities and social movements need in order to react and act in Solidarity to crises. We want to learn from the past, support healing in the present and shape the way we enter the future.

For a whole year, we have been collecting and discussing existing knowledge and practices about crises and developed workshops based on five streams of thoughts.

This podcasts provides insights in our endeavor.

  • Strengthening Civil Society Through Mutual Aid – A talk with Fine (Educat) and Dean Spade
    May 26 2026

    Strengthening Civil Society Through Mutual Aid – A talk with Fine (Educat) and Dean Spade.

    The audio is almost 37 minutes. The spoken language is English. Fine and Dean talk about community care and mutual aid as the answer to crisis and capitalist driven society.

    In the context of worsening ecological crisis, rising fascism, and expanding war, we need to build communities and movements that can take care of each other and fight back. Mutual aid is the work we do in communities to meet immediate survival needs autonomous from government and NGO’s. It is where we practice skills of collaboration, generosity, and co-stewardship, engage in political education to expand our solidarities, and move from being passive observers of political crises to active participants in preparing for and addressing the disasters being caused by capitalism.

    This podcast is part of an Erasmus+ funded project called "Skills for Crisis". More resources about the workshops developed and delivered as part of the project can be found here: https://skills4crisis.org/workshop/strengthening-civil-society/
