In the fourth ACU and DePaul Conference on Community Engagement and Service-Learning: Preparing Educated Citizens during Uncertain Times we focus on community engagement and service-learning as activities that can engage our students for a lifetime of actions that will strengthen our democracies and serve the common good.

During the conference, we will consider how community engagement and service-learning can be enacted in a way that is politically engaged and impactful with university, community, and governments. This focus is undertaken with the recognition of uncertain times characterised by political polarisation and rising tensions within our national contexts.

Conference sub-themes:

- CE/SL and political engagement of our students through various lenses and in diverse community contexts (e.g., Race and ethnicity, Faith-based institutions, First Nations peoples, and Migrant and refugee communities)
- CE/SL and supporting student wellbeing - including safety and security - in challenging times
- Care for our Common Home: CE/SL, Laudato Si / Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Laudato Si, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
CE/SL research for advocacy and impact
