Partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions as a strategy for change are gaining recognition and momentum.
Service-learning, community-based participatory research and broad-based coalitions are among the methods these partnerships pursue to accomplish their goals.
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health's 9th conference, Walking the Talk: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Partnerships," took a critical look at these partnerships in all of their iterations and asked key questions about where we are now, where we are going and where we need to be:
-
How do we fully realize authentic partnerships between communities and higher educational institutions?
-
How do we balance power and share resources among partners?
-
How do we build community and campus capacity to engage each other as partners?
-
How do we create healthier communities through partnerships?
-
How do we translate "principles" and "best practices" into widespread, expected practice?
