Universities & Community Groups Collaborate
by Sona Mahtani
Date and time
Widen and deepen impact of London's Universities and grassroots community groups through meaningful collaborations, links and partnerships.
About this event
An exciting workshop programme has been organised by Just Space, a London-wide community network, in partnership with University College London (UCL). This is part of a project exploring how Universities and Community Groups in London can have a greater impact through active, mutually beneficial collaborations and partnerships.
On 26th July at The Tate Exchange, we are kickstarting this programme off with 2 workshops:
*The Nature of Community - to foster a better understanding of how smaller grassroots community groups function
*Building, Maintaining and Moving Forward with Mutually Beneficial Relationships for Social Change and Social Justice - identifying the big issues, knocking down the barriers and creating opportunities to making stronger links between Universities and community groups.
Book your place now and find out more about it from the organiser, Sona Mahtani, on beyondjustnow@gmail.com
Further workshops and a conference in September and October are being planned on:
· Creating community knowledge
· What is the workplace of the future going to be like?
· How can civil society play a role in the future of work agenda?
