The Self and the Community

Community involves people having a sense of belonging to a group with which they have something in common. This may relate to history, location, culture, beliefs, profession, sexuality or interest. Belonging to a community gives young people a context in which to learn, to develop socially and emotionally, and to become resilient. School is one community among many.

The Self and the Community provides an accessible process for discussing the key dimensions of Self, Family, School and Community.
