community Workshop co-design

Over the past 5 years, we have developed a lot of research materials and deliverables. We make these available on our website through videos, reports, policy briefs and podcast interviews. However, we know that sometimes its easiest to walk through the materials through a guided conversation. If you’d like to co-design a workshop to engage with the IEDL materials, reach out for a information consultation. Possible topics include: Anti-displacement strategies in the face of gentrification, Strategies and practices for community control in economic development, Supporting and scaling Black owned and led businesses, Models for rethinking community engagement, and more!
