Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well! We are full steam ahead with most of our programs here at Community Engaged Learning, and wanted to share what's happening this month!

Social Justice Hub November Drop-In

On Tuesday November 25th, join the Social Justice Hub for our monthly drop-in! If you're looking for a friendly place to meet community on campus who care about social justice, bring your lunch and come ready to discuss the issues of the day. The drop-ins are a casual space to process the political moment, brainstorm ideas and initiatives, and recruit for your organizing efforts. Last month, we had an exciting conversation about housing as a human right; applying a justice lens to economic policy;  UBI vs. Universal Basic Services,  and justice for International students with regard to barriers post-graduation. 

To attend, come to the CEL office, 203-55 Chancellor's Circle, from 12-1:30pm on Tues, Nov 25th.

Land and Water

Our L&W events are now open to all Indigenous students, staff, faculty, and community members. 

On Nov 25th, Tuesday, we will host a Fire making workshop, 4pm-6pm (outdoors)

On Dec 13th, Saturday, we will host a Fish Filleting and Fish Fry workshop at Migizii Agamik, 2pm-5pm.

Please follow our Land and Water Instagram and CEL Instagram to stay updated on further details!

You can also contact Em at Em.TardiffBreen@umanitoba.ca for more information.

Poverty Awareness and Community Action (PACA)

Applications are now closed, but we love to talk about what we are doing in this program! 

Approximately 20 students and alumni from UM are currently participating in the PACA Support Circle and learning about community resources, systems navigation, and relationship building. Participants completed a 5-week training series last week, and are now actively doing advocacy work with four Lived Experience Educators (LEEs), who are dedicating their time and knowledge to support hands-on learning.

Best,
