Build new skills during the City of Waterloo’s virtual Neighbourhood Workshop Series
From February to April, the City of Waterloo will connect neighbours through a virtual Neighbourhood Workshop Series.
The workshop series is courtesy of feedback received during Waterloo’s successful 2020 virtual Neighbourhood Summit. Participants at the summit expressed interest in building their skills in conflict resolution, inclusivity and strengthening communication skills to learn and share with neighbours across the city. Staff have planned five workshops aimed at empowering people to continue contributing to the neighbourliness of their area of the city.
The workshops will engage neighbours in discussions and are facilitated by local community leaders.
The series includes the following workshops:
Workshop | Date | Time |
Virtual Volunteering Workshop | Thursday, Feb. 11 | 12 – 1 p.m. |
Communicating with Neighbourhood Audiences During COVID | Wednesday, Feb. 24 | 7 – 8:30 p.m. |
Best Practices For Moderating a Social Media Community | Tuesday, March 9 | 6 – 9 p.m. |
Active Bystander Training | Tuesday, March 23 | 6 – 9 p.m. |
Anti-racism in Neighbourhoods | Wednesday, April 14 | 7 – 8:30 p.m. |
Anybody in the community can attend. The workshops are free and registration is required on Eventbrite.
