Locating communities in community-based learning: empowering local community groups in university-community partnerships. 13 November 2024
Welcome to the first post of our Engagement Blog for the 2024-25 academic year! We’re excited to start with insights from Dr. Rehan Shah and Dr. David Geiringer, whose project received support through a CPE Small Community Grant. The project, titled Locating Communities in Community-Based Learning: Empowering Local Community Groups in University-Community Partnerships, exemplifies our commitment to fostering collaborative learning experiences that bridge academic and community goals. We hope Dr Shah’s reflections inspire further engagement and ideas for making a positive impact together.
