The final winter session of the Waterloo Wellington KMb Community will explore what we know about succeeding – and failing – at knowledge mobilization. We will use a “worst case scenario” exercise to think creatively and critically about co-creation as part of knowledge mobilization work. Through a facilitated session, we will brainstorm some “worst practices” for co-creation initiatives.

Graduate students can be powerful actors of change on and off campus. From reflecting on why we are interested in the topics we are studying to discussing how we build skills to become engaged practitioners, this session asks graduate students to consider how we prepare ourselves for this work and what support we might need to develop and maintain relationships inside and outside of the academic community.

What can it look like for graduate students to participate in community-engaged partnerships? This roundtable brings participants to reflect on the principles and practices of engagement. We’ll discuss how to identify and approach the right partners, what students can offer "back" to ensure that relationships are mutually beneficial, and what happens to those relationships once the research is over.

This March, stop by the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex to view our "A Circle of Care" poster exhibit. The posters forming the exhibit were created based on conversations with 10 local not-for-profit organizations and key CESI partners who work tirelessly towards building a more just, welcoming, and caring community. Together, they drive tangible transformation and make Guelph and Wellington a better place to live for all.
