Engagement Telelearning Series – April, May 2010

The Canadian Social Economy Hub (CSEHub) and the Steering Committee for the 2010 National Summit on a People-Centred Economy are offering a series of telelearning sessions based on two series of papers that cover four important themes within Canada.  One series is being developed as Knowledge Mobilization papers by CSEHub researchers, and the other series has been prepared as issue papers for the 2010 National Summit on a People-Centred Economy. These sessions are intended to generate engagement and learning about key issues within Canada, to share research results, and to build momentum leading up to the National Summit occurring in Ottawa from May 30 - June 1st (www.ccednet-rcdec.ca/en/summit).
