Does your community organization work in collaboration with an academic institution? Does your work at an academic organization include active collaboration with community members?
The University of Guelph Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) will be providing a forum to showcase novel and varied approaches to community engaged work to a wide audience on October 29th, 2018 in Guelph, Ontario. CESI is keen to learn more about the different ways that people in various roles and locations pursue community-university collaborations.
The Community Engaged Scholarship Institute (CESI) wants to know:
- How do you and your collaborators work together in creative ways?
- How do you collaborate in ways that address community interests and create mutual benefits?
- How do you work together to achieve shared goals?
- How do you overcome challenges and barriers?
- How do you work together to achieve positive social change?
- How do you generate and measure impact?
CESI welcomes a broad range of presentation formats and approaches to community-university collaboration. Formats may include, but are not limited to: presentations, workshops, discussions, musical and other creative performances, and experiential offerings such as multimedia presentations.
For those interested in presenting, CESI asks that you submit a 150-word description by September 10th of your proposed contribution, along with the names and affiliations of all presenters to Kendra Schnarr at kschnarr@uoguelph.ca.
