We are excited to be launching a new Community of Practice on Collective Impact and the Sustainable Development Goals! This community will be a space for Canadian changemakers to come together to share experiences and build skills towards creating a more collaborative Canada.
We are thrilled to be organizing this Community with our partners at the Tamarack Institute, one of the world's leading connectors, convenors, and educators for collective impact. Collective Impact is an intentional and disciplined form of collaboration that focuses on advancing systems and policies to create change, and we see the SDGs as a collective impact framework. Learn more about Local Future’s focus on Collective Impact.
The Community of Practice will feature monthly online workshops with the aim of supporting members to build their networks, share ideas, problems, and questions, and to strengthen skills using the newest approaches and best practices for collective impact. The first meeting will be on April 28th at 11:30 EDT. We will meet monthly until March 2027. Register here to join!
The Community of Practice is free to join, and is designed for community changemakers across Canada, from a variety of organizations and sectors. We will explore topics including how to create a common agenda, how and why to engage diverse perspectives, and creating systems change. We hope that by joining the community, members will develop collaborative leadership skills, learn and reflect on pressing community issues, and identify opportunities to strengthen community resilience and sustainability.

We hope you will join us!
