Community Involvement
Our class is exploring one of the most important issues facing humanity worldwide -- there are many opportunities to learn more, to start to make a difference here in our community. This assignment invites you to participation, engagement, service learning in a way that is right for you. Your "community involvement" can take many forms. Here are some examples: Attend an event on campus or in the community -- a speaker on refugees or climate change, a meeting to support refugees (email Pastor Mark), a public meeting or rally, or? Interview someone -- a refugee living in our area, a person who works with refugees, an expert on climate change, or? Volunteer -- tutor or drive a refugee who needs help, for a group working to support refugees, for a political candidate who you believe has a good approach to addressing refugees/climate change, or? Educate others -- speak to a group, class, meeting about issues of climate change refugees, or? To complete this assignment, you are expected to 1) be involved for more than 1 hour, 2) write a summary of your experience and what you learned, and 3) email your summary to the professor and the whole class by Dec 3. This minimal effort will meet the community involvement requirement - consider doing more and exceeding the minimum required! Created by: allen.webb@wmich.edu |
