engAGE Presents: Grace Dart Foundation Knowledge Mobilization Fund Showcase

The 2024-2026 Grace Dart Foundation Knowledge Mobilization Fund for Empowered Aging brings Concordia University to communities and stakeholders outside of the University. During the past two years, we have carried out a wide range of collaborations with students, community groups and older adults. These collaborations produced innovative ways for co-creation, including game designs, digital mas, dance classes for fall prevention, VR worldmaking and more!

Come see the projects that were carried out in the past two years, listen to a panel conversation about the projects, and meet some of the students, community partners and older adults who co-create these projects. 

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.

Have questions? Send them to info.4@concordia.ca

The Grace Dart Knowledge Mobilization Award matches students with community organizations and nonprofits working primarily with older adults. It is an opportunity to co-develop community-engaged activities with older adults and to acquire experience in the community sector

Empowered aging considers growing old as an active and evolving process wherein diverse individuals have opportunities to access resources and supports that will enable ongoing realization of personal potentials as needs and situations change over time.

A knowledge mobilization award is not a research award: it is an award to help make your research relevant to potential audiences. The goal of this award  is to develop effective ways, using methods developed through your research, to engage older adults in topics that are important to them and to bring research knowledge and expertise to other sectors of society.
