Our mission is to inspire action on Canada’s most pressing civic challenges by creating policy intelligence and connecting people to power.
Dais Learning programs are designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to better understand how to influence policy change in Canada, and to act on current and emergent issues facing Canadians.
Programs are suitable for all learners with an interest in a topic. No prior education or experience is required for most programs.
Through online, in-class and destination programs, and access to subject-matter experts and leaders who are active in the field, you will gain a practical understanding of rapidly advancing fields, including digital technology, innovation, education and climate policy.
Join us for our next Masterclass: Influencing Public Policy (Feb 6-Mar 27, 2025).
