This course provides an opportunity for students to put theoretical ideas they have learned in other courses into practice. Students will find their own placement and develop a project in consultation with their placement mentor and the instructor. The practicum can be situated within such settings as public-sector organizations such as universities or hospitals, community groups, social-economy organizations, or the private sector.

Suitable projects may include (but are not limited to) the development of curriculum, programs or online resources, the organization and/or delivery of courses and workshops, and the evaluation of teaching materials and programs. Weekly classes will provide opportunities for skills development, as well as placement support, feedback and reflection.
