Join together with neighbourhood leaders, community builders, civic leaders, academics, municipal leaders, and other passionate learners to explore ideas that will accelerate the communities agenda.
This is a workshop designed to inspire and rejuvenate, to revive your hope in the power of residents and community.
This gathering will provide you with inspiration, connections, knowledge and specific tools to offer the leadership required to connect, engage and mobilize residents in your community and beyond to generate a shared vision and action plan; in turn, developing programs and policies for change.

How Do We Learn Together?
In addition to hands on learning there will be plenty of time to interact with other learners, faculty and practitioners. We are all assigned to a small group learning lab that will provide you an opportunity to hear each other’s stories and dig deeper into the content.
During our time together you will be invited to help create a powerful and dynamic learning community dedicated to strengthening our individual and collective capacity to connect, engage and mobilize citizens, funders and policy-makers. As members of this learning community we will each gain new insights and be part of shaping new knowledge to move our communities towards a deeper commitment to realizing collective impact.
