Resilient Vermont 2024: After the Floods

Past event
Mar 19, 2024, 8:30 AM to 5 PM

The Vermont floods in the summer of 2023 highlighted the broad and ongoing need for investments in systems that support our health, safety, and wellbeing. This year's conference will draw from a range of novel perspectives on resilience, while challenging our attendees to see how the insights and tools derived from these perspectives can be incorporated into our response to environmental, social and economic threats. Our two areas of focus will be human resilience and indigenous perspectives on resilience. The human resilience sessions will be led by Norwich faculty who have developed programs for both military and civilian populations to build individual and interpersonal resilience in the face of intense stress. The indigenous perspectives on resilience will offer an expanded view of how we see ourselves and our place in the world.
