Project Description
The SOLICO project is established around the tackling and management of the most severe crisis of European societies since WWII - the COVID-19 pandemic. European, national, regional and local solidarity became one of the most important factors during that time and the importance of volunteering and active participation in local societies are a crucial factor for maintaining services and supporting most vulnerable groups. In all European countries public administrations, civil society organisations as well as volunteers and citizens have gathered broad experiences (positive and negative) around the management of the pandemic development, about crisis management, management of volunteer support and solidarity on local level. With the SOLICO project these experiences and expertise on local level should be gathered, discussed and treasured as good practices for future crisis management and solidarity actions. A comprehensive dissemination, exploitation and multiplication strategy will be applied to allow participation and broad impact so that besides all negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on all European societies, there can at least be learning effects and good practices for future similar situations.
