Listen "Fostering Social Change through Storytelling and Community Collaboration"
Episode Synopsis
Antoine Coulombe, Assistant Professor of Teaching at the UBC School of Social Work, and Lama Mugabo, community planner and Founding Director of Building Bridges with Rwanda, discuss their collaborative work in education focused on community organizing and participatory learning. Their efforts aim to help students build reciprocal and respectful relationships with communities, with students gradually expressing their understanding of these relationships through their own actions. The conversation highlights how "storytelling" has become a powerful tool for transformation in the Hogan's Alley neighborhood and how this approach is being integrated into education. They also introduce an ongoing national project focused on amplifying the voices of African youth and young African newcomers, contributing to meaningful social change through a "meandering process."
