Concordia will host the 9,000 delegates of the 2010 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The university will be organizing many events and activities to highlight Concordia's creativity and build upon the theme of Connected Understanding/le savoir branché. The University of the Streets Café will be part of these events. 

 

The University of the Streets Café is a series of public conversations for citizens from all walks of life to come together and discuss pertinent contemporary issues. The format creates gathering places for people to pursue lifelong learning and engagement through mutual learning and experience-sharing.

These collective discussions are an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds and realities to meet in a respectful environment where all perspectives are welcome, and where publicly exchanging ideas together is seen as integral to social change and the building of healthy and sustainable communities.

For Congress 2010, the University of the Streets Café will be organizing a series of public conversations around the theme of Connected Understanding. Held in different Montreal neighbourhoods, these events will offer Congress participants an opportunity to explore Montreal, have a conversation with local citizens, and experience one of Concordia's innovative programs first hand.
