Professional co-development

Professional co-development is a peer learning process that leverages collective intelligence to address real-world issues facing group participants.

Co-development takes place in groups called “cohorts” that meet between four to six times, depending on group size.
Each group comprises six to ten people, as well as a host or facilitator to keep track of time and ensure participation and an atmosphere of mutual respect.
At each meeting, two group participants present their project or real-world challenge.

All of the meetings cost just $250 for members of the Agricultrices du Québec, and $450 for non-members.
The professional co-development program is valued at $1,200!
The co-development cells are offered virtually, in French or English, for all women farmers in Canada

There are no upcoming meetings. If you are interested, please contact us at dimension-e@upa.qc.ca or 514 431-3756.
