Pedagogies of Community Engagement

The Pedagogies of Community-Engagement Collective (PeCEC) is a community-based
research project, created to explore and share knowledge about facilitation practices that
support community-engaged work across different sectors. This unique partnership brought
together community-based non-profit organizations, academic researchers, and independent
community-engaged facilitators. Organizational partners include, or have included Righting
Relations, The Centre for Community Based Research, Neighbourhood Arts Network, Women’s
HIV and AIDs Initiative, SKETCH Working Arts, the Community Engaged Research Institute
(Simon Fraser University) and OISE, University of Toronto.

This video, produced by FLIP after the first year of the project, showcases perspectives and voices of 3 PECEC team members.

Illustrations referenced in the video were produced as part of Beyond the Toolkit, by Andrea Vela Alarcón– in collaboration with the Beyond the Toolkit study team. Beyond the Toolkit was a participatory research project that sought to collaboratively explore how community-engaged facilitators were adapting their facilitation practice to online and remote settings, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other syndemics, as well as the unique ethical and pedagogical challenges that arise when facilitating online. This project was led by a sub-set of the PeCEC team, prior to the creation of the larger PeCEC network.
