THE CP-MODEL PROJECT
AIMS at
Defining resilient strategies and increasing the ability of towns to
become “can-do communities”, increasing knowledge and practices and
creating a massive learning strategy for resilient learning communities
and self-resilient communities
Through
a Resilience MOOC (Massive Open On-line Courses) platform that will
contain courses, guidelines and operative information.
The platform is addressed to learning practise and procedures tackled
to involve a large scale category of people, experts and volunteers
To reach the goal CP MODEL project will realize
• A Resilience Map of criticalities in order to have a practical and
scientific proved starting point for analysing and verifying the reason
that make difficult to adopt strategies addressed to increase the
level of auto-organization of the response in case of natural and
anthropogenic crisis.
• Involving experts and local leader of at least five municipalities in
each participating country, as well as volunteers and protagonists of
the local community life, the resilience Map will be realized through
questionnaires and focus groups related to the assessment of the
main difficulties in adopting flexible prevention strategies, but also to
the presence of new ideas and best practises.
• This analysis, implemented at EU level, will provide a baseline for
understanding what kind of informative and learning tools will have
to be designed and realized in the Platform
To reach the goal CP MODEL project will realize
A Resilience MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) Platform
MOOCs are at the beginning of a wave and a first step towards
opening up information and educative materials to a very wide public
and interested stakeholders in the field of resilience.
The training/informative materials to be put inside the platform will
consist of three legs of a stool: contents/curricula, teaching, and
assessment
The platform will be interactive and will operate connections and links
with the social networks. It will be realized in order to be Multi-platform
(mobile – Iphone and android, tablet and Ipad, pc) and compatible with
all the most popular browsers (firefox, safari, Chrome, explorer etc...)
To reach the goal CP MODEL project will realize
A Resilience MOOG (massive open on line guidelines)
MOOG is a Guide about how to use the open structured resources
addressed to the local communities and the stakeholders:
-Practises and experiences
- Micro-blogging contents
- Massive training materials organized in structured courses provided in
all the languages involved and with an active and interactive tutorship
-Interactive spaces and exchange modules where the expert can share
information and ideas
-On demand training resources
-- Video resources
The GUIDE is created to be “social” and, in this perspective, it will
interact with the social networks (facebook, twitter, you tube, vimeo etc...)
in order to increase the number of participants and the level of their
involvement.
To reach the goal SEE project will realize
The Resilience On-Line Learning Game called “Resident
security” (the game of the resilient towns) that is an innovative
product to be created in order to complete the learning offer.
It has the main goal to disseminate the concept of resilience as a
common and accepted idea and not as something addressed
basically to specialists and professionals.
Resident security is conceived to be played on-line and it can be
executed on pc and mac but also on smart systems.
The philosophy is quite simple, the player is a major or a leader of a
community and his/her first task is to adapt and create a strategy to
be prepared in case of unpredictable situations and crisis.
The idea is that a leader/player cannot predict, but he/she can learn
how to be prepared from other scenarios and past situations.

FOLLOW UP
The MOOC/MOOG platform can look beyond the involved countries and has
the potentiality to reach many other local communities and local policy making
leaders. In these terms the project can give an important contribution to the
already existing international initiatives in this field (such as the UNISDR resilient
cities campaign).
After the end of the project a permanent staff consisting of coordinator and
partners will be established in order to maintain and further develop the
platform and the educational materials and tools.
The staff will proceed (during and after the project lifetime) in creating bridges
toward the most important MOOC platforms (Coursera, Khan, Openup…) and
in making specific agreements with the Educative and Civil Protection
Authorities in order to put at their disposal all the resources.
It must be finally underlined that the MOOC is a auto-updating system, in which
the community of learners provide and update contents. However, the technical
storage and the active server resources will be included within the institutional
activity of Centro Studi Villa Montesca, that can provide with internal staff to
assure the continuity of the project.
Thank you for your attention !
