McGill School of Social Work SOCIAL WORK ACTION GROUP

McGill School of Social Work SOCIAL WORK ACTION GROUP

MEETING: Wednesday February 22, 2017 Wendy Patrick Room (118) @ Wilson Hall 4:00 -6:00 pm

Following the Equity Forum, students, staff and faculty and expressed interest in further opportunities for collaboration around advocacy and community/political action in light of recent events within the University, our province, and internationally. We are meeting this coming Wednesday to further develop the ideas generated at the last gathering. Please join us and be part of this initiative to create a space for all members of the community of the School of Social Work to come together united in our interest to engage actively and collaboratively!!!

Goal: To create an opportunity in which members of the School can gather, support each other, foster a sense of community, and develop ideas for further advocacy, activism, and community involvement.

Method: A bi-monthly, open gathering during which participants offer support, discuss salient topics, and plan community / political action This format would serve as an incubation stage, allowing smaller action groups and committees to form organically. Projects initiated in this way would eventually break off and hold their own meetings and create their own structures. The incubator can continue as a respectful space for support and generating new ideas
