Rooted in Practice: Learning from Community-Engaged Facilitators – Dec 4, 2025
Session Description
December 4, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Join the Pedagogies of Community Engagement Collective, meet other community-engaged facilitators committed to equity and social justice, and participate in building a community around facilitation as a practice and a field!
The Pedagogies of Community-Engaged Practice (PeCEP) is a three-year community-based research project led by Dr. Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández created to explore and share knowledge about facilitation practices that support community-engaged work across different sectors. As a group of community-engaged facilitators, the Pedagogies of Community Engagement Collective, we explored a shared question: How do we do our work with care, equity, and accountability?
Whether you are new to community-engaged facilitation or a seasoned facilitator, we welcome you to this online networking event where we will be launching resources at www.communityfacilitation.ca developed for you by a team of community-engaged facilitators united by a shared commitment to continual learning and social justice.
The unique partnership brings together community-based non-profit organizations, academic researchers, and independent community-engaged facilitators working in community arts, HIV and harm reduction, adult education, Indigenous Sovereignty youth engagement and activism, community organizing, community-based or -engaged research, and more. Organizational partners include the Centre for Community Based Research, Righting Relations Canada, Toronto Arts Foundation’s Neighbourhood Arts Network, Women & HIV/AIDS Initiative, and the Community Engaged Research Institute at Simon Fraser University. This research project and event is funded by The Spencer Foundation.
