Community Engaged Learning

The Minor in Community Engaged Learning has three core courses, which introduce ideas of community, the theory and practice of community engaged learning, and critical pedagogies. The intermediate level courses build on this knowledge and also allow students an opportunity to work in a sustained way with a community partner. The program incorporates a range of courses from around the University to allow students the chance to explore themes in community engaged learning. The Minor combines both theoretical and applied learning by requiring 6 credits of practica. Students have at least one opportunity to connect their developing disciplinary expertise in their major area of study with community engaged learning.

A certificate in Community Engaged Learning is also available (see Certificate Programs in Section 12 Programs and Courses of Instruction).

Intro to Compassionate Communities

This course explores the concept of the compassionate community as a model for how communities might address social injustices such as poverty, homelessness and loneliness in their midst. Drawing on tools from work in community engaged learning, the course gives students the critical and theoretical skills to understand the factors in community making (history, shared values, identity) and the preparations needed for establishing and maintaining community partnerships. The course has a particular focus on the local-Sackville, Port Elgin, Dorchester-and an applied component that directs students in the skills needed to make connections with local potential community partners and assemble the skills and competencies to discern mutually what sort of relationships and projects are best, given the needs of all involved. [Note 1: This course is cross-listed as RELG 1001 and may therefore count as three credits in either discipline] (Format: Lecture/Tutorial 3 hours) (Exclusion: RELG 1991 Compassionate Communities)

Indigenous Community Assets

This course explores Indigenous community strengths as the starting point to authentic community building.

Community and Social Change

This course introduces the idea of social change from a variety of disciplinary areas including Religious Studies, Modern Languages, Geography, Environmental Studies, Sociology, Music, Fine Arts and Biology. The course is for students who are looking to contribute to their community by addressing social change but are not sure how to get involved in this type of work. With knowledge garnered from years of community activism and research, this team-taught course introduces students to the conceptual tools that are crucial for community organizing, development and volunteer work. (Format: Lecture 3 Hours) (Exclusion: CENL 1991: Community and Social Change)

Education, Identity and Athletics

This introductory course uses outdoor education and athletics as a lens to learn about mentorship and community advocacy in the public school system. As part of a university-community partnership with a local school, students will work directly with elementary and middle school children on a weekly basis to design and supervise learning activities and undertake informal mentoring. The course is well suited for those who volunteer as coaches and mentors, or those who are considering careers in recreation administration and education, especially careers involving children.
