Social Innovation Spring Workshops

March 22 and April 3, 2023

Learn about social innovation projects in progress and contribute to their success!

Humber’s Centre for Social Innovation warmly invites everyone, regardless of education or lived-experience, to take part in these three exciting days of innovation. You will hear from faculty, students and community organizations about the genesis of their project and why it matters to community. Through facilitated workshops, you’ll work with them on a challenge within their research or project.

Network and work-alongside like-minded individuals to create social change! Everyone is welcome.
