Linking adults with community : promoting civic engagement through community based learning
Employing community-based learning with adults presents unique challenges and opportunities; it requires an analysis of the adult-learning literature as well as identification of service-learning practices that will be effective with adults. In this volume, drawing upon adult-learning and service-learning literature and case studies, scholars and practitioners articulate best practices in community-based adult learning and illustrate its implementation. Adults are increasingly called upon to become involved in the body politicStrengthening their communitiespromoting changeenlivening our democracyCompeting with the call for civic engagement are the demanding priorities of modern life that adults face in the workplace, at home, and in their community.
