The Talloires Network

The Talloires Network is an international association of institutions committed to strengthening the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education.
Australian Catholic University, through the Institute for Advancing Community Engagement, is a member of the Talloires Network.
Mission:
The Talloires Network is an international association of institutions committed to strengthening the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education. We work together to implement the recommendations of the Talloires Declaration and build a global movement of engaged universities.
Vision:
We believe that higher education institutions do not exist in isolation from society, nor from the communities in which they are located. The Talloires Network envisions universities around the world as a vibrant and dynamic force in their societies, incorporating civic engagement and community service into their research and teaching mission.

Daniel Nelson

In July 2009, Daniel Nelson, Bachelor of Theology student, Strathfield Campus was appointed Student Peer Advisor (SPA) for the Talloires Network. This is a great honour for Daniel and the university as there was only a small number of SPAs appointed worldwide. Daniel is the student liaison for Talloires.
