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.
As those in positions in power equivocate over the housing crisis, what patient, marginal labour is being done to move these narratives from scarcity to belonging and dignity? As is common, community efforts are leading the way. Join us for what promises to be an insightful discussion on community-led housing alternatives, tenant defence, and crisis-driven responses through transitional shelters with our partners from Logifem, CAPE, and Li-Ber-T House, as well as Concordia’s Housing & Job Resource Centre (HOJO).
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.
Community Learning Event Series On the first Tuesday of the month, come meet members of SHIFT’s Learning Community and learn more about the socially transformative work happening in Montreal.
