 UNDERSTANDING – raise an awareness about certain communal issues that needs to be addressed. People develop the feeling of
involvement once they truly comprehend the situation within. They come together to support advocacies that will overcome community
needs and difficulties.
 ENGAGEMENT – Once issues are assessed properly and people in the community understand the needs, they work collaboratively to act
on it. The main goal of engaging in the community is to improve the partnership and coalitions among the community. It is important that
engagement occurs so that members will be able to involve meaningfully in the activities that they have created.
 EMPOWERMENT – enable the people to independently decide, It is important that engagement occurs so that members will be able to
involve meaningfully in the activities that they have created.
 This means, initiative and decisions come from internal group organized for the benefit of everyone. It is also necessary that the
community can provide significant networks and linkages that will genuinely serve the advocacies that they have built.
Remember:

 Having knowledge in community action makes an individual understand better by being aware in the
environment, have meaningful engagement and accept empowerment to create significant impact.
 Awareness on community and community dynamics makes us realize the value of individuals’ involvement in
different communal undertakings. Social capital strengthens the community link and create a diverse
network. It entails us to understand external resources that may be beneficial in the development process
