Abstract

At the heart of the universities “third mission” is the idea that their expertise can be used in collaboration with various stakeholders to solve societal problems. This chapter discusses how Engaged Learning applies that idea to university teaching. It is a university driven learning exercise with strong community involvement, where activities of teaching and learning are combined with civic engagement. The chapter focuses on what kind of communication it requires with the community partners in the planning stage. Discussing the setting and the character of the activities with the collaborators is down to three main factors: how Engaged Learning connects with university studies; what the role of the community partner is; and what benefits community partners can expect.
