The first Crafting Resilience Glossy is published!

07 February 2025

The first magazine of the Crafting Resilience project 'De kracht van (on)macht' (The power of powerlessness) has been published in collaboration with Uitgeverij Van Gennep. This first issue follows the research line 3, driven by Maartje van der Woude. This line looks at the tension between resilience and security. In this issue, we explore for whom these aspects matter and what images and assumptions play a role in this. This magazine is the first in a series of six in which we aim to explore these practice questions together with professionals, policymakers and citizens.

This glossy highlights the power(lessness) that professionals in the social and security domain and citizens experience in their work and contacts with institutions. This applies both to professionals in the social and security domain and to citizens themselves. We look at current themes such as violence in dependency relationships, resistance to institutions and misunderstood behaviour.

The issue was created with contributions from researchers and participants in the Community of Practice of research line 3, including staff from the Municipality of The Hague and Police Netherlands (Heerlen Base Team). The cover is illustrated by B.Carrot.

The glossy is available (in Dutch) via the website of Uitgeverij Van Gennep.
