Community Engagement Day 2014! Get Involved!
Community Engagement Day is a new project from SEDE that aims to celebrate and recognize community engagement efforts connecting 平特五不中 to Montreal community groups and organizations. The project is not intended as a one-off event; rather, it鈥檚 meant to serve as an entry point and celebration of a broader culture of community engagement at 平特五不中.
On Thursday, October 2nd, approximately 20 group聽community engagement activities will occur on campus and around the city. These activities highlight some form of collaboration between the University and a Montreal community organization. Students, staff, faculty and alumni are encouraged to participate in these activities, during which they鈥檒l learn experientially about the societal issues and challenges facing communities in Montreal while doing something to address them. Activities include public discussions, community walking tours, urban gardening, and youth mentorship, and more!聽
All activities are free, and registration will open in mid-September. On October 2nd, participants will meet their project leader on lower campus at the main information point, continue to the activity, and afterwards, have a chance to reflect. In November, a follow-up event will provide participants with the opportunity to get together and discuss Community Engagement at 平特五不中.
