Mobilizing Partnerships for Social Change

COMMUNITY SITE VISITS

Community Site Visits are a unique aspect of the CCPH conference and do not complete with other conference programming. Here’s your chance to get out of the hotel and visit innovative community-campus partnerships in Toronto! They provide an opportunity for conference participants to learn in-depth from local partnerships by spending about three hours touring and talking with the partnership's major stakeholders. The site visits represent a variety of definitions of “community,” “campus” and “partnership.” We encourage conference participants to ask questions and engage in constructive dialogue with their site visit hosts about the meaning of these terms and other issues.

CALL for SITE VISIT HOSTS

One of the most important components of the conference is community site visits of innovative community-campus partnerships that involve Toronto-area community organizations and higher educational institutions. We are currently seeking applications for community site visit hosts for our 10th Anniversary conference.

Community site visits provide an opportunity for conference participants to learn in-depth from local partnerships by spending about three hours touring and talking with the partnership's major stakeholders. Additionally, these site visits give hosting organizations exposure to colleagues from across North America and often from around the world.
