New Resources Launched!: Learning from Community-Engaged Facilitators

For the past three years, the Centre for Community Based Research has participated in the Pedagogies of Community-Engaged Practice research project to explore and share knowledge about facilitation practices that support community-engaged work across different sectors.

We are thrilled to share that the Pedagogies of Community Engagement Practice website has now officially launched! Check out the website, and the new resources created by and for community-engaged facilitators on the new research project website www.communityfacilitation.ca! The website includes collages, podcasts, videos, event recordings, and the community-guide,“Facilitator's guide to community engagement: A deep dive into community-engaged facilitation”. Check back often for more resources.

This unique partnership brought together community-based non-profit organizations, academic researchers, and independent community-engaged facilitators working in fields such as community arts, HIV and harm reduction, adult education, Indigenous Sovereignty, youth engagement and activism, anti-racist social movements, community-based or -engaged research, and more. Organizational partners on this project include or have included the Centre for Community Based Research, Righting Relations, Neighbourhood Arts Network, Women and HIV/AIDS Initiative, Sketch Working Arts/ Flip Foundation, and the Community Engaged Research Initiative at Simon Fraser University and OISE/University of Toronto.

Check out the website to read more on the team.

Let’s build a Community of Practice to collectively reflect and engage in facilitation as a practice and a field!
