Abstract

Abstract: The article explores aspects of resilience developed in Belarusian society and dwells on those elements of resilience as viewed by the general public in 2019. Based on the results of focus groups conducted in Belarus, the paper uncovers perceptions of identity and community of relations, explores the Belarusian vision of a good life, and substantiates the importance of value orientations as an element of social integration. The article expands the understanding of resilience, introducing the notion of inclusive resilience, thus highlighting the importance of local coping strategies while addressing global challenges.
