Presentations and References from Inspiring Communities Workshops with Mark Cabaj, June 2011

 

A June 2011 highlight for Inspiring Communities was hosting Tamarack’s Mark Cabaj. This was the third time we have invited Mark out. We organised both open workshops and tailored sessions where he covered up to date Canadian learning and experience from working with communities around complex issues, particularly poverty reduction. The presentations and notes from the workshops and other resources are below:
