    From ACTive NGOs to solidarity networks: civic ecosystems during and after COVID-19

    The COVID-19 crisis has heavily disrupted the activities of NGO Houses and their civic ecosystems. While the lockdown and rules of social distancing have made most of the activities of these spaces impossible, many NGO Houses moved their activities online and became protagonists in existing or emerging solidarity networks. Existing local communities and solidarity networks proved to be a strong asset in tackling the crisis: in neighbourhoods and cities where mechanisms of solidarity and care had already been in place, NGOs and civic spaces were able to organise themselves and provide their communities with the necessary goods and services. We reached out to partner cities of the ACTive NGOs URBACT network to explore how NGO Houses and their local ecosystems responded to the crisis and complemented the work of municipalities.
