Join us for our upcoming SHIFT Lunch & Learn! These are opportunities for relationship-building and co-inquiry as we reflect on social transformation through intentional, co-facilitated learning encounters between our partners, community, and university actors. Bring your own lunch or come and snack on what we have here.
The way we are able to live, work, and gather in Montreal all depends on the way it was designed. Often, the failure to address community needs occurs well before shovels hit the ground. What could a more community-based form of city planning look like? How can higher education better prepare urban planners and geographers to serve our communities? Join Dr. Sunjay Mathuria and speakers from both QIR Saint-Pierre and the JIA Foundation as they interrogate the decision-making processes behind city planning to better bridge the gap between urban planner priorities and communities needs.
Register here or drop by if you are on campus.
Please note - this event is held in person, at the SHIFT space. If, for accessibility reasons, you are not able to join in person but would like to attend the event, please contact shift.calendar@concordia.ca and we can work together to see if an alternative solution is possible. A week’s notice will give us the best chance of making something work.
