> Communities and Universities: Partners in Education
>
> The history of relationships between communities and universities in
> North America is long and complex. While there are many examples of
> successful partnerships that enliven or enrich both academic
> institutions and the communities in which they are situated, there are
> also many examples of challenges and obstacles that have entrenched a
> cultural disconnect between the two.
>
> As a participant in this two day event you will have the opportunity to
> learn about some leading North American models of community engagement
> from universities and their community partners, and to share your unique
> knowledge and experiences. The symposium will look at overarching themes
> and will feature case studies from Canada, the United States and Mexico.
> We will identify best practices, common challenges, and share some of
> the ways that community-university partnerships have had a positive
> impact on civil society in North America, particularly related to
> socially excluded or under-resourced communities. Perhaps most
> importantly, we will explore ways to expand and enrich these efforts.
