Students taking this course will critically examine the concept of community engagement within tertiary studies and how this concept is being implemented in Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, U.K., and U.S. tertiary institutions. This course will integrate academic content on community engagement with students' previous field experiences in response to the Christchurch earthquakes. This will provide students with an overview of how many different fields are contributing to our understanding of, response to, and mitigation of earthquake hazards in the Christchurch area.
In CHCH101, students will integrate 30 hours of community service related to the Christchurch earthquakes, relevant academic content about post-disaster response and volunteerism, and guided reflection. This will provide students with an overview of how many different fields are contributing to our understanding of, response to, and mitigation of earthquake hazards in the Christchurch area.What previous CHCH101 students have said:"I just wanted to thank you for a great course this semester. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and am very glad I took the opportunity to re-examine some of my values and beliefs. Thanks for the thought provoking sessions and the detailed feedback on my assignments – I’m sure this course will serve me in many ways in the future.""The CHCH101 course was a great way for me to hear a variety of perspectives on what came out of the earthquake and where the city needed to go, and to challenge me to think about what I learned from staying in the city after the earthquake.""I am now motivated to start up a Student Volunteer Army back at my home university (study abroad student).""I feel as if I’m really a part of Christchurch because I’ve given back and am not just visiting here (study abroad student)."
