Community immersion allows individuals unfamiliar with a community to immerse themselves by living as community members do. This provides opportunities to reflect on assumptions and gain cultural competence. Activities may include home visits, living with families, discussions with community members, participating in household and social activities, and assisting with work. The goal is to help students better understand the communities in which they are learning, by engaging with real experiences and contexts for their studies.

How can the community immersion help the students?

Visiting Marginalized Populations, Neighborhoods, More. The program is designed to help


students gain a better understanding of the community in which they are learning about medicine.
By engaging with community members, students were able to experience a real-world context to their
studies.
Conducting a community immersion - is one of the activities which a students
takingeducation must undertake. It is one of our requirements in the subject C.C. 5
(CivicEducation).

Before I discuss the things on what we have done on our community immersion, let me first
give its definition:

Community immersion- is a version of service learning that is more integrated with student’s
passions and interests, is longer-term and is related to the on-going development of
community and social justice issues.

Whereas pulling debris from a river would be classified as community service, at EUACS an
explicit educational component - such as studying the causes of river pollution and how to
advocate for environmental policy reform- makes it community immersion learning.
Community immersion learning fulfills many of the school's goal s for students - becoming
involved citizens, learning through worthwhile tasks, and developing leadership, advocacy and
problem-solving skills.

Community Immersion (Service) learning is defined as a method; under which young people
learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized experiences that
meet actual community needs that are coordinated with the school and community; that is
integrated with specific learning objectives and provides structured time for youth to think,
talk, or write about what they did and saw during the actual service activity; that provides
young people with opportunities to use newly acquired skills and knowledge in real-life
situations in their own communities; that enhances what is taught in school by extending
student learning beyond the classroom and into the community; that is related to community
development and social justice; helps foster a sense of caring for others through direct
involvement; and That is supported by regular assessment to provide feedback and guide
improvement. Community Immersion-it is a strategy designed to cope up with the gap
between realities of public safety through learning and theoretical instruction, social strategy
and training to attain common goal or interest.

We’ve conducted two type’s immersion, the school-based and the community- based
immersion.

First, that we undertake is the school-based immersion last October 7, 2012 where in, we do
some cleaning such as cutting grass and collecting garbage and throwing it to its proper place.
We also plant okra vegetables in order to occupy the place we cleaned.
Then finally, we undertake our community-based immersion at Brgy. 13Catbalogan City. As
usual we did bring different cleaning materials then do the cleaningtheir place for the sake of
cleanliness because as what I observed to their barangay it seemsthat persons living there are
not aware of their cleanliness.
Indeed, such two immersion’s that we’ve undertaken is a great experience in my part.
