Opis

Focuses on partnerships at the most basic level of interaction - between two people as they work toward common goals. Interpersonal dynamics described in this book are intended to guide formal and institutional relationships between members of a community or community organisation on the one hand and representatives from campus on the other.

Recenzje

From the Foreword:

“There are few resources that thoroughly address the hows of good practice; the ways to authentically and effectively bring the principles required for successful campus/community partnerships to life. And what about community partners? What resources and tools exist for them to engage with their higher education partner? The currently popular idiom ‘not so much’ comes to mind. This volume powerfully addresses both the shoulds and the hows of what I believe is the central component of the success of any on-going partnership or relationship: communication.”
