Toronto 2012

Workshop Overview

From May 21st to 23rd, a workshop was held in Toronto, Ontario to discuss CORD’s research and funding priorities moving forward. This initiative brought together approximately fifteen experienced researchers and practitioners from Brazil, Bangladesh, Canada, Egypt, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom for a three-day workshop hosted by the International Development Studies Program (now Centre for Critical Development Studies) at the University of Toronto Scarborough.

In particular, the workshop’s program focused on:

  • Exploring the opportunities for and approaches to achieving a new south-south knowledge network and partnership on governance and citizen engagement
  • Exploring the potential research program of the proposed network
  • Exploring the potential for curriculum design and resource development for citizenship research
  • Sharing of current research
  • Sharing network-building strategies using online platforms and offline tools
  • Understanding and developing strategies for long-term sustainable local funding mechanisms

The short-term output of the workshop was the development of a comprehensive proposal on the development and strategic directions of CORD. Key partners, additional participants and potential funders and sponsors will later be identified.

The workshop also resulted in the development of a knowledge dissemination portal and social media platform on issues of citizen participation, development,inequality and governance.
