Knowledge Democracy in Higher Education (a noncredit course)

Knowledge Democracy in Higher Education is a five-part learning series focused on understanding the principles of community-university engagement, community-based participatory research, building equitable partnerships, integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and transforming higher education. This online program will combine both asynchronous and synchronous learning (led by the UNESCO Research Chairs and invited experts).

The series allows enrolment in individual sessions, with full-series participants earning a certificate of completion. Exploring knowledge’s role in addressing societal issues, participants interact with cutting-edge concepts, experienced educators, and external experts, fostering democratic learning environments.
