The Centre for Community Organizing and Popular Education (CCOPE) is a coalition of academics, educators, activists and organizers interested in promoting positive social, political and economic change and building community in the face of global neoliberalism.

Our goal is to establish an authentic space for solidarity, where people with diverse interests, experiences and abilities might exchange ideas, experience, information and resources, and above all rediscover the sustaining ability of true community. Our focus is on the potential for educating to expose and foster the connections between seemingly disparate issues and provide a site where our actions might manifest as a movement. CCOPE works to fulfill this by organizing our annual retreat, conducting workshops, providing learning opportunities for our membership, and remaining informed by being embedded in diverse movements and spaces of change-making.
