Description
Community and service in years 1-4 may have opened students' eyes to different realities. Awareness of community needs and first-hand experience should have created an interest in finding out more about the issues and problems the student has witnessed and been involved in; the choice of the personal project can derive directly from this interest and sense of commitment developed over the four years. On the other hand, research and thought involved in the completion of a personal project may well provide valuable experience and knowledge to develop further an existing community service project in the last year of the programme.
Some of the skills, attitudes and values closely linked with this area of interaction are:
- an interest in today's world
- sensitivity to the needs of the community and society in general
- social awareness
- an altruistic attitude
- a sense of responsibility and self-esteem.
