Community Engaged Learning – No cost to community partners

Community Engaged Learning at MacEwan University is a project-based teaching-learning strategy that connects classroom theory to challenges experienced in the “real world” by our Community Partners. 

Partnership Opportunity

Is your organization experiencing challenges that 3rd-year Child and Youth Care students can support? Using an international global perspective lens, students will examine how global policies, migration patterns, cross-cultural practices and therapies, holistic care, and the role of Child and Youth Care practitioners in various contexts impacts and implications.

How this works

Student teams will choose a community partner (CP) at the beginning of term. With the help of the CP, the team

 will explore an agreed upon challenge through the lens of a social psychology methods. 

Early Dec      Experiential Learning Facilitator and course professor will discuss the potential projects to ensure a good fit with the learning outcomes and the mandate of the partnering organization.

Early Jan            CPs join class (virtually) to pitch their challenges with Q&A with students (Jan 11 at 11 a.m.)

Mid Jan       Student teams select a project and partners are informed of a match. 

Late March         Teams make final presentations to CP virtually

Your Commitment

Commitment to the visits (virtual or in-person), as indicated above is a must. 

Projects are tied to a student’s overall course mark and must be completed within a tight time period and managed around varying student schedules. We ask our partners to ensure timely sharing and transfer of information and firm commitment to scheduled meetings to support project success.
