Learning From Each OtherAnti-Poverty Community Organizing and Learning (APCOL) Conference, June 7 & 8 2011People all across the city are struggling with housing, unemployment, educational access and hunger. Why do some people get involved in neighbourhood groups working for change, and others don’t? What do people learn through their involvement – why do some stay involved, and others leave? For the past two years APCOL community and university researchers have been asking these questions to hundreds of people. On June 7th & 8th we came together with community organizations to begin the work of making sense of the stories and numbers we’ve gathered so far, and to talk about what this might mean for us as community organizers and neighbourhood activists. Over 150 people from all across the city participated in the conference, and we had a lively two-day session. Making Sense of the Research Workshops
