Community Education
Pay what you can workshops, courses, and events.
Because education should be accessible to all.
What is Community Education?
We love learning from each other, being challenged, and putting skills into practice. We believe that education should be available to all.
We are excited to create spaces where we can learn, engage, and act together. Community Education hosts host pay-what-you-can workshops, courses, and events focused on creating community, thinking about what it means to be good humans and neighbours, and providing practical skills around advocacy and community action.
For now, we have a small number of workshops that we offer a few times each year. We hope to continue expanding and bringing in awesome people to facilitate all kinds of learning opportunities!
