Presentation
Your group will present on the Sustainability of your project and your Exit Strategy. Remember Community Development is not about one-off events, or short-term projects. It is about strengthening communities, building capacity, addressing social injustice and empowerment. It is also about barriers to participation and challenging stigma.
Your presentation must discuss how the project will continue after your two-year period of working with international students has come to an end. This may involve community engagement e.g. engaging parents, carers, and other professionals in the community willing to donate time and expertise to help sustain the project.
Community Development is an innovative and dynamic process so make sure when you're putting your presentation together that you 'think out of the box' and come up with some creative ideas of how you could make sure your project is sustainable.
Your written individual action plan proposal and group presentation should each include at least 5 (scholarly) journal articles or books each.
The format of your assessment will be discussed in greater detail during tutorials.
In order to work towards the preparation of an individual action plan proposal for a community development project based on the case study option listed below (each student will submit an individual proposal). To complete this task, you must use the provided template.
Work done in tutorials during weeks 1-5 will inform your proposal, but you will also need to do your own individual out¬of-class research to inform your proposal, including researching on capacity building models and innovative community-development programs relevant to the case study. You will also need to consult the relevant literature and the community toolbox in order to inform your proposal.
CASE STUDY
International students within Australia post Covid-19 lockdown are experiencing a number of issues related to their tenure in Australia. These include issues such as homesickness, discrimination, issues with employment, anxiety / depression and others.
The Federal Government has allocated funding for the next 2 years to assist them in helping to address the social issues and wellbeing of students through some Community Development initiatives. Your group is allocated $30,000 a year.
Within your small group you are to identify an issue appropriate and relevant to international students and develop a small program to addresses a particular need and / or interests. Using the template, you are to jointly plan the project for the students in your college.
