CTLT Indigenous Initiatives Virtual Coffee Hour with the Community Engagement Network (For UBC Staff & Librarians)

Event Details

  • Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2025
  • Time: 10:00 am – 11:00 am (PDT)
  • Location: Online via Zoom

Join us for a casual, online gathering focused on sharing and learning from one another, and hearing expert advice related to embedding Indigenous ways of knowing and doing into your community engagement work.

This is a great opportunity to connect with consultants from the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) Indigenous Initiatives team and meet your peers who lead and support community engagement across UBC. CTLT Indigenous Initiatives offers programming, resources, and consultations to support respectful and meaningful engagement in curriculum, pedagogy, and more. Their work fosters learning and working environments that center Indigenous perspectives both on and off campus. They host monthly virtually coffee drop-ins.

Whether you have specific questions or simply want to introduce yourself, this drop-in session is a welcoming space to share how you may be trying to bring Indigenous ways of knowing into your work, to seek feedback on something you’re working on, and discover new tools and resources related to reconciliation and UBC’s Indigenous Strategic Plan.

This conversation will build on our past session, “How UBC staff are integrating Indigenous ways of knowing into their community engagement work,” which explored how staff are integrating Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, being, and relating into their community engagement work.

This session is intended for UBC staff and librarians who do community engagement work.
