Spark others! Share the value of your learning

If you have participated in learning experiences outside the classroom (ex: internships, competitions, research, study abroad, etc) but aren’t sure how to express the skills you have gained, then this workshop is for you. This is an interactive workshop that includes individual and group work, role-play/practice and immediate feedback. The learning and skills developed during the workshop will help you explain the importance of these experiences to your peers, or as you enter the labour market. Register online for the next session.

Do you even disco?

Still Making the World Dance will be a feature documentary about the disco era and local founder of Unidisc Music, George Cucuzella. A number of positions are available to Concordia students during the development and pre-production phases. Learn more.

Bring a real-world activity into the classroom

Would you like to design a new project-based student experience for an upcoming course that involves an external partner? Last summer Concordia partnered with Riipen, an organizatio that offers an online platform to help faculty bring project-based experiential learning activities into the classroom. Concordia faculty can now connect to 3,500+ companies and non-profits. Register online for the next workshop.
