Supporting Students to Ethically Work in and With Community: Modules that can be Integrated into Courses and Programs

Event Date & Time

Event Description

In this workshop, we will introduce a suite of modules delivered by the Centre for Community Engaged Learning that support students to work ethically and effectively in and with community. We will explore the menu of options available and the impact they have been having on student learning and experience. We will hear from instructors of an inter-professional health program about how the workshops map onto their inter-professional health curriculum and support students to work in community. Facilitated conversations and hands-on activities will support attendees explore how the menu of workshop offerings can be easily integrated to support their course or program learning goals.
