action?
1. Common context – people live in a similar setting
and/or locality. It is the base in building a common
lens.
2. Common experience – people encounter a
comparable experience individually or collectively. It
gives the members a sense of being one, thus
creating a common sentiment.
 THE DEFINITION AND FORMS OF

more or less a similar view of the issue at hand. It
elevates the community relationship from a “feeling
level” to a “thinking level.”
4. Common analysis – people went through a process
of analyzing the issue and may have a similar take on
the issue, partly or in a whole. It puts the
understanding of an issue to a certain perspective.
 THE DEFINITION AND FORMS OF

 FOUR GENERAL PHASES OF COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATION PROCESS
1. Issue identification, analysis and dissemination
- is the key step towards the development of
community action. Relevant community information is
collected, consolidated, analyzed, defined, processed,
and disseminated. “real needs” are determined than "felt
needs. “
 FOUR GENERAL PHASES OF COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATION PROCESS
2. Mobilization of community – the step of gathering
people to meet regularly, discuss community problems,
plan as a community, identify leaders and organizational
structure, and develop systems.

ORGANIZATION PROCESS
3. Organization – this is the “bolt-in” phase where all the
resources, material or nonmaterial, process or
product, soft or hard technology, and physical and
spiritual are mapped out and consolidated. It is the
phase where “what is lacking” and “what is available”
are determined.

4. On Education – this is the skills development or
human resources enhancement phase. Members are
provided with necessary skills, knowledge, and
orientation. The success of community action may
depend on how efficient and effective the members
and officers are.
 To facilitate a process of appreciating community
dynamics, community change agents must be aware of
the following:
1. Know the community issue – its history, roots, how it
developed, what facilitated its growth, where it is now.
2. Analyze the issue from different perspectives –
identify the issue and look at it through different lenses.
3. Identify and get to know the relevant community
structures and systems – what structures and systems
may facilitate or hinder the success of an action?
 4. Identify and get to know the players – who are
involved in the issue? Who are the interest groups?
5. Identify community power actors – who are the
influential people? What are their interest in the issue?
6. Trace connections – this will provide a picture of the
strengths and weaknesses of the people who are involved
and what resources they have.
Thus it is important also to have a grasp of people’s
apprehensions and fears. The act of pursuing
community action entails patience and commitment. It
requires the process of meaning-making.
 THE FORMS OF COMMUNITY ACTION:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY
AND CITIZENSHIP
Societies of the world have become much more complex
and demand accountability from academic institutions.
According to Gil (2012) she wrote that the 2010 OECD
(Organization of Economic Co-operation and
Development) General Conference underscored that
“social engagement has moved beyond institutional
outreach to address the challenges of the twenty first
century.”
 THE FORMS OF COMMUNITY ACTION:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY
AND CITIZENSHIP
Community Engagement – denotes interaction,
sharing, and relationships at different levels. It can be
defined as the partnership between two parties, such
as academic institutions and local communities for
mutual benefits, and it is characterized by reciprocal
relations.

AND CITIZENSHIP
What is Community Engagement?
The ASEAN University Network (AUN) follows the
definition given by the Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Center for Service
Learning. Community engagement has a four- part
definition:
• active collaboration
• builds on the resources, skills, and expertise
and knowledge of the campus and community
• improves the quality of life in the communities
• in a manner that is consistent with the campus
mission.
• The academe is expected to provide link
between the academic and community life
• It focuses on engaged learning where
objectives are met by working on projects with
a community partner
• Puts classroom skills and knowledge into
practice while serving the community
• - civic involvement and academic coursework
 THE FORMS OF COMMUNITY ACTION:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY
AND CITIZENSHIP
CITIZENSHIP
- The term denotes membership of a citizen in a political
society. The membership implies a duty of allegiance
on the part of the member and a duty of protection on
the part of the state.
- a citizen refers to a member of a democratic
community who enjoys full civic and political rights and
is accorded protection inside and outside the territory
of the state.
TRIVIA:
According to the Philippine 1987 Constitution Article 4
Section 1, the following are citizens of the Philippines.

1. Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of

the adoption of the constitution.

2. Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the

Philippines.

3. Those born before January 7, 1973 of Filipino mothers,

who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of
maturity, and those who are naturalized in accordance with
law.
- A citizen has both rights and responsibilities.
- The concept of social justice provides that denial of
these rights injures the whole human community and
breaks solidarity of the people.
- On the other hand, a responsible citizen ensures not
only awareness of these rights but also his/her
obligations to pledge allegiance to the state, defend it,
contribute to its development and welfare, uphold the
constitution and obey laws among others.
- the principle of citizenship recognizes that
people have a moral responsibility to SELF,
OTHERS, and COMMUNITY.
 THE FORMS OF COMMUNITY ACTION:
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY
AND CITIZENSHIP
SOLIDARITY – a positively valued model of relations
between social entities (Dobrazanski,nd.)
Generally, it is about regarding our fellow human beings
justly and respecting who they are as persons.
Based on the perspective that a person is a relational
being – a person is in connection with other people, with
the society, and with the environment.

 According to Andrew Mason, a community is also called
a MORALIZED COMMUNITY.
- this is a collective body bonded together by their
shared experiences, values and practices.
- As Saint John Paul II said, “Building a community that
empowers everyone to attain their full potential
through each of us respecting each other’s dignity,
rights, and responsibilities.”
- Thus, it makes the world a better place to live.
