Preservation: Safeguarding Our Past, Protecting Our Future

At SOLEL International, we believe that preservation is about more than just maintaining the past – it's about securing a better future. Our preservation efforts span from cultural and historical conservation to environmental protection and disaster preparedness. By safeguarding our heritage and our environment, we're ensuring that future generations can build upon the strengths of those who came before.

Disaster Preparedness

In the face of increasing environmental challenges, we believe that community resilience is crucial. Our disaster preparedness programs aim to equip communities with the knowledge and resources they need to face any challenge.

COVID CRISIS

During the Covid crisis our president gave a talk on Ted talks on the subject of thriving in turmoil. Does have a universal application to any preparedness aspect watch and enjoy.

12-Step Disaster Preparedness Plan

We've developed a comprehensive, easy-to-follow plan to help communities prepare for various types of disasters.

  • Detailed Guide and Resources: Our guide covers everything from creating emergency kits to establishing community communication networks. It's available in multiple languages and formats to ensure accessibility.

  • Interactive Online Training Modules: We've created a series of online modules that walk individuals and community groups through each step of the preparedness plan, allowing for self-paced learning.

Community Resilience Training

We believe that prepared communities are resilient communities.

  • Workshops and Seminars: We conduct regular workshops in our communities, covering topics like first aid, basic search and rescue, and emergency communication.

  • Neighborhood Emergency Response Teams: We help establish and train neighborhood teams that can act as first responders in case of emergencies.

Emergency Response Coordination

We work to ensure that our communities are ready to respond effectively when disasters strike.

  • Partnerships with Local Emergency Services and Local Utilities: We facilitate connections between community groups and official emergency services, ensuring smooth communication and coordination.

  • Artist-Led Community Support Initiatives: We engage local artists in creating public awareness campaigns about disaster preparedness, using creativity to convey crucial information.

Historical and Cultural Heritage Preservation

Preserving our shared heritage is crucial for maintaining community identity and understanding our place in history.

Cultural Landmark Creation and Activation

We believe that cultural landmarks are anchors of community identity.

  • Monument Activation: Depending on the surface, we work to bring to life using AR with monuments that honor important historical figures and events.

  • Historical Marker Program: We create and install markers and Monuments at sites of historical significance, ensuring that important local histories are not forgotten.

Eco-Art Installations

We use art as a powerful tool for environmental education and advocacy.

  • Recycled Material Sculptures: We commission artists to create public sculptures using recycled materials, drawing attention to issues of waste and consumption.

  • Climate Change Awareness Murals: Our mural program includes a series of works that visualize local impacts of climate change and inspire community action.

Through these preservation initiatives, we're working to ensure that our communities are resilient, our heritage is honored, and our environment is protected. Each restored building, each prepared community, and each sustainable practice contributes to our vision of creating communities that honor their past while building a sustainable future.

By focusing on these four key areas – Arts, Culture, Education, and Preservation – SOLEL International is working to create holistic, lasting change in our communities. We believe that true community revival comes from empowering individuals, celebrating diversity, fostering creativity, and honoring our shared heritage and environment.

Our impact isn't just measured in the number of murals painted or workshops held, but in the strengthened community bonds, the preserved cultural knowledge, the new skills acquired, and the increased resilience of our neighborhoods. As we look to the future, we're committed to continuing to innovate, to listen to our communities, and to work tirelessly towards our vision of vibrant, empowered, and culturally rich communities that will thrive for generations to come.
