Carleton University

Purpose

In response to increasing demands on the voluntary sector and civil society organizations, a Canadian-European civil society educational network formed under this project will facilitate the transatlantic exchange of students, faculty and learning tools. This includes the development of courses and programs designed to improve both practice and policy within civil society organizations and social enterprises. The project encompasses various disciplines including Environmental Studies, Business and Management, Social Sciences, Political Science and Economics. Students will have opportunities to undertake internships and community-based learning assignments, providing them with a broader range of skills to pursue careers within the public, private and non-profit voluntary sector.
