What students don&#8217;t usually expect is for their coursework to make a real-world change in the place they live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Oshawa, real, student-led community changes are being created at City Idea Lab. At City Idea Lab students from universities and colleges collaborate with and learn from policy experts from the City of Oshawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new learning model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of her political science undergraduate degree at Ontario Tech University, Cara Morrison took part in the first City Idea Lab program in the fall of 2018. Meeting at TeachingCity in downtown Oshawa through the semester, Morrison and her classmates participated in lectures where they&#8217;d learn about local government and transforming cities. Then they got into the hands-on learning side of the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students were challenged to find answers to the question: \u201cHow might the City of Oshawa better engage youth in priority neighbourhoods?&#8221; Working in groups, the students applied each week&#8217;s lecture as they looked for solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/CIL_showcase_student_speaker-30.jpg\" alt=\"A young female student speaking behind a microphone at the City Idea Lab showcase.\" class=\"wp-image-22230\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting ideas in motion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Morrison&#8217;s group came up with three potential ideas for priority neighbourhoods: Pre-teen community centre dances, drop-in arts programs, and educational mentorship programs where pupils at schools with low rates of post-secondary enrolment could be paired with college and university students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group presented their ideas to City of Oshawa staff members to evaluate what might be viable in terms of local budgets, policies and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea with the most potential impact became clear: Morrison and her group would work on creating the mentorship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They imagined campus tours led by college students, and panels and workshops covering the practical aspects of post-secondary education \u2014 such as handling funding options, and how best to fill out post-secondary applications. The group wanted to shape a program to help students facing hurdles to graduation and pursuing higher education by providing stable social support and outlining paths to go to university or college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spring 2019, a pilot education mentorship program was rolled out at G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute, an Oshawa high school with low post-secondary education enrolment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI actually got to go and do a school panel discussion where students could ask us questions about what it&#8217;s like at college and university,&#8221; says Morrison. &#8220;The combination of excitement and fear that come with undertaking a post-secondary education is universal.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe students seemed very interested to hear what classes and professors are like and what opportunities might be available on campus,&#8221; she says. &#8220;But they also expressed anxiety about how difficult the coursework might be and what expectations would be placed on them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAddressing this issue was an opportunity where I felt that the mentorship program could shine. Everyone on the panel was able to assure students that yes, it could be stressful, but that the bond that forms between classmates \u2014 whether in study groups or just being able to relate to one another \u2014 helps to ease the burden.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProviding that kind of emotional support was always an aim of my group&#8217;s vision for our program, so it was beautiful to see it in action,&#8221; Morrison says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/CIL_showcase_RBC_speaker_dec_2018-30.jpg\" alt=\"Marjoilane Hudson, Regional President of RBC\" class=\"wp-image-22231\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiential learning for greater engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The City Idea Lab is an innovative collaboration, supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/dms\/enterprise\/futurelaunch\/about.html?promo_name=ENT_LocalMarketing_DNL&amp;promo_id=225729&amp;promo_position=body&amp;promo_creative=Students Solve Social issues in Their Neighbourhoods While Gaining New Skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RBC Future Launch<\/a>, between the City of Oshawa, Ontario Tech University, Durham College, and Trent University Durham.

Programs like these help youth explore their interests, test their limits and inspire them to do more than they themselves thought they could.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is certain: The positive impacts of the program have been more wide-ranging than anticipated when the course was first designed. In the years since the first experiential learning courses at City Idea Lab, students have pursued ongoing work with the City of Oshawa, marking perhaps the beginnings of new careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-1-border-color has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color\">Find out about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/future-launch\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57591-c4afcb12\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"how RBC supports Youth\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">how RBC supports Youth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
