Abstract

This is the third Community Ideas Factory initiative – ‘The Life Skills project’, a collaborative social innovation research project that originated at Sheridan College and is funded through the College and Community Social Innovation Fund, which is managed by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) in collaboration with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). This is a 3-year research project which proposed an innovative response to the need for effective life skills programming. This social innovation is a comprehensive, lived- experience and EDI-informed, life skills program that includes several key topic areas (modules) and associated interactive applications which allows the learner to practice the skills being taught in a virtual setting to prevent homelessness. The project resulted in a virtual Learning Management System (LMS).
