The purpose of the current article was to compare the retrospective experiences of community partners with higher education (HE) qualifications, in community engagement (CE) in order to inform global citizenship as a HE agenda. Qualitative methodology was appropriate in this study as we were interested in gaining in-depth insight into the understanding of partners of HE-rural school CE-partnership. We conveniently selected an existing Flourishing Learning Youth intervention for the purpose of secondary data analysis of the retrospective experiences of several participant-groups. Researchers confirm that HE should promote social justice in development interventions. Insight generated by this study is the fact that community challenges are not confined to a lack of assets, but also include ignorance about the invaluable local resources.

高等教育利用社区参与伙伴关系作为研究空间来积累知识
本文的目的是在社区参与(CE)中比较具有高等教育(HE)资格的社区合作伙伴的回顾性经验,以便将全球公民身份作为HE议程。在我们的研究中,定性方法是合适的,因为我们有兴趣深入了解对HE-农村学校CE-partnership合作伙伴的理解。我们方便地选择了一个现有的“蓬勃发展的学习型青年”干预措施,目的是对几个参与者群体的回顾性经历进行二次数据分析。研究人员确认,高等教育部应在发展干预措施中促进社会公正。这项研究得出的见解是,社区面临的挑战不仅限于资产不足,还包括对宝贵的当地资源的无知。
