Knowledge Exchange Initiatives

The Canadian Council on Learning was committed to the exchange of evidence-based knowledge to strengthen relationships and facilitate improved decision-making by all stakeholders in the realm of learning. We built on existing excellence in research, education and monitoring in learning, and supported the development of essential knowledge exchange practices by:

Partnering with existing organizations with expertise in lifelong learning
Supporting knowledge exchange activities such as conferences, forums, expositions and roundtables
Fostering the exchange of success stories and promising practices across Canada
Engaging end-users in the design and delivery of research to improve knowledge uptake
