reflection, an understanding of their own experience in a team-based workspace as well as a broader understanding of the application of their discipline knowledge and its potential impact in their communities in this way, also enhancing their sense of civic responsibility. All JCP projects must be locally contextualised in the UN\u2019s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eb3de3b83bde36331e00eda5294c5921\">STRUCTURE OF JCP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dfb00d6bdb65e2fe80a8a851e9311233\">The Department of Community Engagement at the University of Pretoria runs multiple projects. JCP is the compulsory service learning module for the Engineering, Built Environment and IT (EBIT) Faculty. It forms part of the complementary studies in the Faculty to develop an awareness of personal, social and cultural values as well as multidisciplinary and life skills, such as communication, interpersonal and leadership skills. Typically we have approximately 1650 second year students and we work on 350 community projects across Gauteng, South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e1becba7c5f4b53315b8f6fce7ce8315\">There are two 40 hour parts to this year module. First the students are made aware of their potential global impact through their degree in the form of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The idea here is to cultivate and stimulate global awareness and understanding their local impact from that perspective. In preparation for their 40 hours hands-on community work they are guided through personal and professional development lectures and assignments to equip them with communication and self-reflection skills that can enhance their ability to engage with their team members and with the community. This includes dynamic personality typology tests that allows for self-awareness of the individuals motivation for their behaviour in different situations (handling conflict, receiving or giving critical feedback etc) as well as strategies to support an effective approach to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e3966554a8842960ada8c253cb22b883\">The 40 hours work in community is part of the experiential learning where students engage in practical work with their team members and have to work together to produce the outcomes agreed upon in the project proposal. Students are assessed in a variety of self-reflection exercises and through peer feedback and finally through a report and presentation of their work in the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ast-global-color-7-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-3-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eff2c0eee0cd8bd20623d2980636826d\">VISION FOR A JCP PROJECT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-914ba887913fc7fb1f78377ae8057037\">Students are given the opportunity to practice and develop their interpersonal skills formally taught in the module by engaging in teamwork with fellow students from different disciplines and also with non-technical members of the community. Their projects should aim to foster long term sustainable engagement with communities and work with these communities towards upliftment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to THE KTG FAMILY!
