Art of Hosting Workshop with Chris Corrigan
On October 21st 2024, CCESC hosted a Full Day Workshop facilitated by Michelle with guest, Chris Corrigan, a specialist in open-space invitational conversations, social technologies, and community engagement. We had 58 participants from across Queen’s, Kingston, and other educational organizations in Ontario.
In addition to gaining an introduction to concepts like community-engaged leadership and inviting meaningful conversation and collaboration, participants were able to bring their own ongoing or planned research to the session to work together with others to discuss, problem-solve, and gain diverse perspectives on approaching their community-engaged work.
