From March 11-12, 2013, the CYCC Network hosted a Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) Simulation event in Nova Scotia at the lovely Atlantica Hotel & Marina Oak Island. Over the course of two days, researchers, service providers, policy makers, and youth participated in various KMb scenarios to understand how knowledge moves across sectors, and to identify what barriers might be blocking the dissemination of evidence pertaining to at-risk children and youth. Round table discussions, role play, and various presentations allowed participants to identify and address KMb problems and solutions in creative ways.
