I hope everyone has a restful and productive few days. Stay warm and have fun. <\/span>\r\n\r\nHere at CCP, we're getting ready for Alternative Reading Week (starts tomorrow, yay!!) and we are also working to support students who have registered for Map The System this year (the deadline to register was January 28). For those of who don\u2019t know what that's all about, check out a previous post here: http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/2019\/01\/21\/are-you-ready-to-map-the-system\/<\/span>\r\n\r\nA few days ago, the Centre for Community Partnerships held a workshop called Map the System: Meet the Faculty Mentors Workshop. It was a relatively informal event, which was good because I got the general sense that the relaxed vibe of it made it easier for people to talk to each other and ask questions. After the general introduction, there were a few tables that covered the main areas that students participating in Map the System should focus on:<\/span> Systems Thinking,\u00a0Refining Your\u00a0Research Question and Community-Engaged Learning. <\/i>Being a work-study student for the Centre for Community Partnerships, I sat down at the Community-Engaged Learning<\/em> table and got to discuss community-engaged learning with people! Here are some of the main points that I took away from the discussion and wanted to share with you all: <\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n-The point of community-engaged learning is to not watch the \u201cother\u201d. It\u2019s about building a reciprocal relationship with the community that you are engaging with. It\u2019s important to involve yourself directly and form a genuine connection<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n-Map the System is not about fixing all the world's problems. It\u2019s about exploring and literally<\/span> mapping<\/span><\/i>, not finding a concrete solution <\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n-When it comes to choosing an area, allow your passions to guide you, not just where you have the most initial knowledge or resources. Go where your interest is and don\u2019t be afraid.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRegardless of whether or not you\u2019re doing Map the System this year, these are always important things to keep in mind when you\u2019re conducting research or doing work that involves real people and their communities. <\/span>\r\n\r\nBest of luck to everyone who has registered for Map the System and I\u2019m really excited to see how the University of Toronto Map the System Final unfolds later this semester!\u00a0<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
