Community engagement at ACU is guided by five principles. These principles were developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Theology and Philosophy and are founded upon the principles of Catholic social thought, and the Catholic intellectual tradition. Learn more about our principles below, including video reflections from ACU staff and students.
Community engagement at ACU builds genuine connections with community organisations and the broader community. It’s through being in relationship that we develop empathic understandings and flourish as human beings.
Community engagement at ACU acts with humility, looking ‘outward’ with equality to work collaboratively with community, not ‘on’ or ‘for’ community.
Community engagement at ACU builds genuine connections with community through respectful and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Community engagement at ACU recognises the fundamental rights and worth of all human beings and is committed to affirming the dignity of all people in a holistic manner.
Community engagement at ACU stands in solidarity with those most negatively affected by the structures and attitudes of contemporary society and works to realise a fair and just society for all.
