National/International Opportunities and Resources
External Public Engagement Resources
This page contains a list of resources for teaching & learning, funding, brokering and making connections that are offered outside of Memorial University. Resources include opportunities provided by other Canadian and non-Canadian universities, national funding programs, and international organizations focused on supporting public engagement activities and projects.
This list of resources is a living document that we hope to keep udating over the years. If you are aware of any resource that is not currently listed here, please reach out to us (engagement@mun.ca) and send a description and a link to the public engagement resource you would like to see added to the list.
