| Summary | This course aims to provide a brief but critical introduction to community education by exploring some of the claims made for it. These foundational claims such as the benefits of community, the value of self-help, empowerment, needs meeting, inclusion and participation need to be clarified and questioned in terms of their validity, utility and purpose. This course will introduce ideas from leading contributors to the thinking and practice of community education both in the UK and elsewhere. It will also enable students to gain insights into key domains of practice. |
