One way to think about civic engagement is to explore how it relates to making a difference mainly in the civic life of our communities and to develop the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. This course provides a forum for discussing a selection of topics on civic engagement through mainly contemporary literature. An important part of the course requires students to work together and create a project proposal for the needs of their local community.
