Community of Practice
Community of Practice gatherings actively bring together CBRCanada members from across Canada and beyond to learn from each other, network and exchange good practices in practicing and supporting community-based research. Each Community of Practice session is led by a guest speaker(s) from the network introducing a big challenge/opportunity in community-based research, followed by a facilitated discussion. All involved in community-based research are welcome, whether you are a researcher, peer-researcher, student, project coordinator, administrator, director, or community leader.
The group meets the second Friday of every other month. Meetings are one hour, informal, and participatory. Sign up to receive re-occurring calendar invitations for the entire year. You can unsubscribe at any time and can attend as many meetings as you wish.
By registering for one event you will receive notification about recurring monthly Community of Practice sessions.
You may unsubscribe at anytime.

“I am appreciating being part of CBRCanada’s Community of Practice. I have been able to connect with community-based research focused faculty and staff at various academic institutions across Canada. I am also learning about resources and non-academic organizations which can be used to facilitate community-based research. These connections and resources are proving to be very valuable in promoting community-based research within my own research centre.”
"I’m glad to meet new people in this field, passionate about community-based research. I felt comforted around my nervousness practicing community-based research."
