COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FELLOWS: STATE-OF-THE-ART
February 19-21, 2020
Bellingham (Xwotqwem), Washington
Community Engagement Fellows: State-of-the-Art is intended for educational leaders who are considering establishing a version of the Fellows program in their region. We welcome participants from higher education, public libraries, county extension offices, P-12 school systems, faith communities, and other community-based educational organizations.
During the three days in Bellingham/Xwotqwem, we will explore the learning theories and community development philosophies underlying this work, discuss the program's structure and evolving practices, demonstrate methods, and share about ongoing innovations.
​
We hope participants leave with confidence to use new methods within existing or new programming, and feel that they are a contributor to a dynamic and evolving network of social learning practitioners.
​
The event is being hosted by members of the Community Engagement Fellows Coalition, including those leading versions of the program in three distinct regions: Bellingham, Tacoma, and Cheney/Spokane.
Schedule:
Wednesday, February 19th to Friday, February 21st 2020
Each day will begin around 9:30 and end around 4:00.
Coffee, snacks, and lunches will be provided. We'll organize optional social hours in the evening, and people can self-organize for dinners as desired.
​
There is no registration fee. Participants are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meals except for lunches.
