What Is It?

Community action is a manifestation of a collective grasp and ownership of a situation—a situation that generally has
an effect on them. This means a situation that touches their sense and sensibilities as individual and as a group.
Community action has three forms namely, community engagement, solidarity, and citizenship. (Melegrito, M.L. &
Mendoza, D., 2016)

Community Engagement

Engagement, as defined by Melegrito, M.L. & Mendoza, D. (2016), denotes interaction, sharing and relationships at
different level. It can be defined as the partnership between two parties such as academic institutions and local
communities for mutual benefits and is characterized by reciprocal relations. Their book also states that the ASEAN
University Network (AUN) follows the definition given by the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Center for Service learning. Community engagement has a four-part definition:
 Active collaboration
 Builds on the resources, skills, and expertise and knowledge of campus and community
 Improves the quality of life in the communities
 In a manner that is consistent with the campus mission.

This involves a paradigm shift from traditional mode in which an educational institution works. From being ivory towers,
the educational institutions are expected to become a link or channel between the academic and community life.

Forms of Community Engagement

Wagner, W. & Owen, J.E. (in press) enumerated the following forms of community engagement:

1. Direct Service: Giving personal time and energy to address immediate community needs. Examples include
tutoring, serving food at a shelter, building or repairing homes, and neighborhood park clean-ups.
2. Community Research: Exploring a community to learn about its assets and how it is being affected by current
social problems. This form of community engagement provides knowledge that other efforts can build upon.
3. Advocacy and Education: Using various modes of persuasion (e.g., petitions, marches, letter-writing to
convince government or corporate decision-makers to make choices that will benefit the community. Raising
public awareness of social issues by giving speeches to community groups, distributing written materials to the
general public, or providing educational activities in schools.

 4. Capacity Building: Working with the diverse constituencies of a community and building on existing assets to
solve problems and make it a better place. Creating a space for everyone in the community to have a say in what
the community should be like and how to get there.
5. Political Involvement: Participating in processes of government such as campaigning and voting. This includes
keeping informed about issues in the local, national, and global communities in order to vote responsibly and
engaging in discourse and debate about current social issues.
6. Socially Responsible Personal and Professional Behavior: Maintaining a sense of responsibility to the
welfare of others when making personal or professional decisions. Using one’s career or professional training to
benefit the community. This category describes personal lifestyle choices that reflect commitment to one’s values:
recycling, driving a hybrid car, or bicycling top work; buying or not buying certain products or choosing to work
for companies with socially just priorities.
7. Philanthropic Giving: Donating or needed items; organizing or participating in fundraising events.
8. Participation in Association: Participating in community organizations that develop the social networks that
provide a foundation a foundation for community building efforts including a civic association, sports leagues,
church choirs, and school boards.

Community Development - It is defined by Melegrito, M.L. & Mendoza, D. (2016) as a process wherein community
members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems and pursue community
well-being.

Solidarity is about regarding our fellow human beings justly and respecting who they are as a person. Based on the
perspective that a person is a relational being: a person is in connection with other people, with the society and with the
environment. This means that a person has to relate responsibly and act in solidarity with others and the whole humanity.
(Melegrito, M.L. & Mendoza, D. 2016).

It is removing the boundaries that prevent us from working together rather it unifies the members of the community to
achieve their common goals in community development. Solidarity can also be associated with cooperation and
collaboration that is each member of the community is taking and sharing its part or role in fulfilling the targets of the
community development. (Melegrito, M.L. & Mendoza, D. 2016).
