Annually, the Tamarack Learning Centre takes the time to pause, reflect and plan forward. We had a very full 2021 delivering workshops, hosting webinars, building online learning courses, and developing papers, tools, case studies and other resources.
Tamarack’s consulting work took us virtually to all corners of the globe including Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Europe and across Canada and the United States. A positive outcome of COVID is that virtual borders are more accessible, and learning can be cross-community and cross-cultural.
Tamarack has adapted its learning strategies over the past year to continue to provide meaningful experiences for members and learners. All virtual workshops include coaching sessions which typically occur one-month post-workshop. We know that this deepens your commitment to learning and enables you to engage further with Tamarack Directors and your peers. The coaching sessions have also helped us understand better the needs of community change practitioners. It’s often through these coaching conversations that new ideas for papers, tools and resources emerge.
As we begin another year, we want to share with you some of the learning priorities for the Tamarack Learning Centre in 2022.
Community Engagement: We will be asking the following questions:
Collective Impact: We will be advancing the following three themes:
Collaborative Leadership: We will be working on the following topics:

In 2021, Tamarack focused on deepening our connections and networks across Quebec. There is a rich tradition of community change in Quebec, and we will partner with organizations across Quebec to share their approaches and lessons learned. As well, Tamarack is focused on making more accessible tools, resources, papers, and case studies that advance community change and changemakers. If you are providing programs and services to Francophone communities, you might want to join our growing community of leaders.
The Tamarack Learning Centre is excited about the potential in the year ahead. We invite you to learn with us by signing up for an upcoming webinar, workshop or online course. Or browse around the Tamarack website and access the many papers, tools and resources that were developed this year.
We look forward to engaging with you in 2022.
