How can we prepare our communities to respond to changes in environmental, economic, political, cultural, and social systems? How do we ensure a voice in public decisions and actions that affect our lives, hold power holders accountable for their actions and decisions? How can we drive sustainable community economic development?

Thirty-five participants from 14 countries have arrived at the StFX University campus to explore these questions and more, through a new set of thematic certificates.

Participants from Angola, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, and Uganda will participate in experiential learning –  in classroom and community – in the areas of Building Resilient Communities, Promoting Accountable Democracies, and Strengthening Inclusive Economies over a three-week period.

Please join us in welcoming the newest cohort of community leaders striving for positive social change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
