A team of researchers from Arup International Development in the UK is visiting New Orleans as part of a project to create a tool that cities and communities can use to help them become more resilient to future shocks and stresses. The project is being funded by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.
As part of Arup’s visit, the Red Cross is hosting discussion workshops with citizens and community groups from across Greater New Orleans on the following days:
o Wednesday 20th November - 4:30-6:30pm
o Thursday 21st November - 4:30-6:30pm
o Saturday 23rd November – 10-12:30pm
Please join us to discuss what resilience means to you and how you and your community cope with shocks and stresses. More information is provided on the attached flyer, with contact details for confirming a place.
Kind regards,
