Due to the prevailing global and local circumstances concerning COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) Coady Institute is cancelling all Canada-based courses through from May to mid-August for 2020. Our ambition, at the moment, is to resume on-campus courses by late August, if at all possible. In the best traditions of community-based development, we will innovate and improvise as circumstances require. If wish consider applying to any of our 2-week Certificate courses that will be on offer starting in September, full details and dates will be available on our web page as they emerge.

Programs are hosted both on-campus at StFX University in Canada and off-campus in communities around the globe.
Check back regularly for updates to program offerings.
