DISE students and alumni establish Canadian non-profit

Students and alumni from McGill's Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) have co-founded the non-religious non-profit Centre for Civic Religious Literacy (CCRL) to promote civic religious literacy through educational programming.

Erin Reid, Sabrina Jafralie, and W. Y. Alice Chan co-founded the Centre for Civic Religious Literacy (CCRL), a non-profit currently working in the provinces of Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

CCRL aims to promote civic religious literacy through educational programming that guides individuals and organizations to better understand religious, spiritual, and non-religious individuals who they work with, support, live with, and teach.

Informed by their doctoral research, their work includes colleagues -such as DISE alumna Arzina Zaver, and partnerships with community leaders, elders, and knowledge keepers across Canada to ensure local representatives speak for their own community in their lived environment.
