The community you belong to has a vital part to your personal and social well-

your community is going through.
This module seeks to give you essential information on how you could be a
participative learner not only at school but to your community as well. This will also

LEARNING ACTIVITIES
READ
Community action includes a broad range of activities and is
sometimes described as ‘social action' or ‘community
engagement'.
These activities can vary in their objective, the role the community
plays, the types of activities involved, their scale and their integration within the
council. What they have in common is that they all involve greater engagement of
0 0
local citizens in the planning, engagement, empowerment of communities in the
design and delivery of local services.
You are in a very crucial stage of the course as you on board a real life actual
implementation of your project to the community. You went through different stages
and processes of conceptual and experiential understanding of community and
community proposal-making. Now, the question is: Are you ready? Always remember
that by virtue of the principle of solidarity and our responsibility to our fellow human
beings, we are doing this not just for the class assignment and requirement but
because it is our mission to accompany the disadvantaged and marginalized.
Below are the guidelines in implementing the activities before, during and after
community-action initiatives.

4.4 Safety Education
4.5 Recreation
4.6 Others

its effect or impacts are positive or negative failure or success.

activities undertaken

community experiences must be written and documented. This report
will be discussed and shared in the class.
