The Resilience Interview

The world has a wealth of resilience experts. They come from all walks of life, all types of career and all contexts and cultures. The Resilience Interview invites these people to share their understanding of resilience in an interview context. Academics and researchers may choose to share their findings. Or they may wish to talk about the resilience required to become an academic researcher. They may do both. Front line humanitarian workers and first responders may wish to share their own resilience stories, or tell us of resilience in the communities and people they work with. Community members will share what makes for resilience in their lives and how they have both survived and thrived. Poets, writers and musicians will share their insights. Some poets will be researchers. Some musicians will be first responders and humanitarians. All are welcome. 

The Resilience Interview is a periodic and, hopefully, regular video that is available through the Resilience Check In website. Subscribers to the website will be informed when new interviews are uploaded for viewing. 

If you would like to tell your story of resilience or tell us something important about resilience please get in contact.
