The CCE movement is growing in Canada which can be seen in government investments, increased CCE research and the growing emphasis on community impact in national conversations. Post-secondary institutions are well positioned to contribute to building social infrastructure in communities.
Community-Campus Engage Canada will focus on strengthening Canadian communities by increasing the capacity, infrastructure and impact of equitable community-campus partnerships. The launch will discuss challenges and opportunities for weaving together a vision of CCE that honours myriad contributions from all stakeholders and keeps community needs at the forefront.
The event will explore why equitable CCE is important, how it can and should work in the various rural, urban, provincial and Indigenous contexts in Canada, how funders fit into the movement and how Canada’s approach aligns with international partner networks.
Full event details, including expert speaker biographies, are available online. The live webcast will be accessible at the following link: https://cfice.adobeconnect.com/webinar/.
