What is CEL? Community Engaged Learning<\/a> <\/strong>(CEL) is a method of experiential learning that emphasizes action, reflection and real-world engagement. It allows people to participate in hands-on experiences while gaining critical thinking, problem-solving and reflection skills by creating mutually beneficial relationships between individuals and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus to Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Campus to Community<\/a><\/strong> (C2C) Days are half-day sessions where students participate in service work with communities in the Greater Ottawa area throughout the whole academic year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Campus to Community Days have wrapped up for the year! Our student participants completed three final C2C Days two of which were with the Ottawa Food Bank. On March 29th and April 6th participants helped sort through and package donated food. On April 2nd, C2C participants partnered with Ausome Ottawa and helped facilitate their basketball program by supporting children with autism through sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who signed-up to lead and participate in Campus to Community Days! All your hard work continuously makes our community flourish and strengthen partnerships with local Ottawa organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus to Community Days will be returning September 2023. Stay tuned for new dates, and opportunities to be a C2C Team Leader and Participant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Community Partnership Project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Community Partnership Project<\/strong><\/a> (CPP) has come to a close for the 2022\/23 year! Our program consisted of 12 dedicated students who worked through modules on topics such as Community Engaged Learning, UN Sustainable Development Goals, the importance of research, and interacting with communities with authenticity and reciprocity. During the February 2023 reading week, our students worked with three organizations: Bruce House, The Ottawa Rotary Home, and Young Diplomats of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
