The Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Communities - Network (EPIC-N) is an international network of some 70 university- or community-based programs using the “EPIC Model” of university-community collaboration to advance progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In this session, members of the Staff will introduce the EPIC Model, share best practices, challenges, and impact; and highlight stories of how the model has been adapted to different cultures and regions worldwide. Following the presentation, staff will interactively showcase the EPIC Model at work through partnerships across the country and world.
During this session, participants gained a deeper understanding of the EPIC Model, tips on how to adapt the EPIC Model to their own university or community context, and resources for doing so.
