Community Engagement Themes 3

Identifying major themes or programs in the University's community engagement is integral to addressing the concentration and coordination of community engagement.

One such theme is university education for disadvantaged people. National programs such as Clemente Australia provide university education in Australia for people who are homeless, disadvantaged or marginalised. International programs such as university education for teachers in East Timor focus the university's engagement and research.

The themes encompass the University's teaching and research capabilities and address community, government and Church priorities.

Beyond Today community engagement agenda aims to create hope and belief in a better tomorrow for individuals and communities through the following three themes:

Beyond Disadvantage

Social inclusion and wellbeing by reaching out to those most in need.

Beyond Borders

Development and capacity building beyond our national boundaries.

Beyond Differences

Social cohesion and participation enriched by inter-faith and inter-cultural understandings.
