A weekly online series of interactive and constructive conversations
We know you know: the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting everything – our institutions, our economy, our way of life.
Our new physically distant reality has presented us all with massive challenges and further threats to social cohesion. As in all crises, the cracks in our systems have been laid bare – in some ways, inequity has never been so clearly visible. Disruptions can either deepen these cracks or be catalysts for improving equity and empathy going forward. We recognize this is a critical moment for us to come together to see and hear each other.
Distant, Not Disengaged was created as an experimental and innovative online event series to illuminate the urgent issues and opportunities arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
This event series has ended. It was hosted in partnership with CityHive and SFU Public Square.
Final Report
This report details the impact of the SFU Community Engagement Initiative's generous funding for Distant, Not Disengaged.
