Does your research propose partnering with community members and you want to start off on the right foot? Do you want to improve relationships with your community members? Our next ACTion Learning event will explore some of the missteps that arise in initial encounters that could impact meaningful community transformation.

ACTion Learning uses local actors to illustrate real-life scenarios, where you serve as the “director”, molding the scene as it goes. No role-play is involved, so you can feel free to experience the reactions and consequences in a stress-free learning environment.  Theories and models become practical because they become personal.

"Brilliant and refreshing learning opportunity." ~ Attendee, inaugural ACTion Learning Event
