From September to December 2024, CAFES partnered with a 4th-year Public Policy and Administration Capstone Course at Carleton University to support students in applying policy frameworks and knowledge to real life policy challenges and situations.
The course used case studies and community engagement to learn about the interplay between evidence and values in the policy process, and at the end of the course students produced final toolkits and reports that included different methods for packaging community benefit funding.
During the term CAFES' Angela Keller-Herzog periodically joined the class to meet the student team, introduce CAFES, attend student presentations at different points in their workflow and provide feedback.
Check out our groups' fantastic final report which dives into community benefit agreements contextualized in clean energy production and renewable energy landscapes.
