COMMUNITY DYNAMICS

The changes in the community brought


about by social, cultural and
environmental experiences
whether it is positive or negative
development that impacts within the
community.
COMMUNITY ACTION
any activity that aims to increase the
understanding, engagement and
empowerment of communities for the
intention of giving services to people.
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, plan-out
and take action to control the situation they have in
the community. 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.
