COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community Engagement is defined as:
"initiatives and processes through which the expertise of the institution in the areas of teaching and research are applied to address issues relevant to its community." (Council on Higher Education)
To this definition we can add that community engagement is a two way process of learning because staff and students of the institution are continuously learning as they interact with the external community. Dissemination, generation and reconstruction of knowledge are practical outcomes of community engagement.
