The contribution presents the research activities of the European Project Resuperes – Resilience in Higher Education or University Context: Overcoming Adversity, which set out to explore resilience capacities in the university context in order to design an educational programme aimed at mitigating emerging fragilities among students, especially in the post-pandemic period. Starting from a theoretical pedagogical framework of resilience and the interpretation of the outcomes of the Cd-Risc questionnaire, it was possible to explore some components of resilience to support the design of a method proposal based on the narrative and autobiographical approach. The training activities aim to develop in the young adult(s) useful strategies for rethinking oneself in adversity through the ability to re-read personal history, one’s own experience and subjective perspectives of meaning in the light of strategies such as, among others, poetic thinking, artistic expression, enjoyment of cultural heritage and humour. The aim is to strengthen the ability to take care of one’s own existential project by connecting it to culture, knowledge, collaboration and participation, as constituent elements of the university community as an educating community.
