Community-Campus Partnerships for Health participates in
the Global Alliance for Community-Engaged Research, established in 2008 to
"facilitate the sharing of knowledge and information across continents and
countries to enable interaction and collaboration to further the application
and impact of community-based research for a sustainable just future for the
people of the world" (see: http://bit.ly/HQqf3f )
The Global Alliance participates in a group of international
networks (known as the Big Tent group) working on community-university research
and engagement issues.
On September 23, 2010, the Big Tent group released the
first Global Communique on the Enhancement of North-South Cooperation in
Community University Engagement (see: http://bit.ly/HQrkYB)
On October 8, 2011, the Big Tent Group released the second global
dialogue communique on A Scenario for Community-University Engagement in 2030
(see:http://bit.ly/Ifwn11)
Big Tent III will offer suggestions for how universities
and communities can work together to make the transition to a sustainable
world. As with the earlier communiques, this statement will be open source and
will be owned by all who participate with the rights to re-distribute and share
within all networks.
Theme of Big Tent III: The Questions
According to many, the technological potential for a
transformation towards a sustainable society is available. Business and
financing models for the transition exist, and the political instruments needed
for a climate-friendly transformation are known. In the interest of moving the
forward, we need more interaction between politics, society, science and the
economy. Can we move from the slow lane to the fast lane?
1. How can Community University Research and Engagement
Partnerships contribute to environmentally sustainable economic and social
development in the transformation of our societies?
2. How can knowledge and education be drivers of the
transformation process?
