Lower North Shore Collective Impact Forum

In April 2017, the Commission Scolaire du Littoral and Community Learning Centres hosted a Lower North Shore training forum. The goal of this regional training forum was to provide an opportunity for participants to learn a method of working together called “Collective Impact”. Collective impact is an advanced method of collaboration that teaches participants how to work together to solve large complex problems so that schools and communities may thrive, developing shared success and shared leadership. Complex problems require engagement and collaborative leadership of stakeholders from across all sectors and all levels of the community leadership including i.e. government leaders, funding agencies, schools, hospitals, the private sector, the not-for-profit sector, community organizers and community members.
