Community based learning is an innovative way to get our students involved in the different issues that surround them in their community. Schools affect the society and are greatly affected by it. So the role of educators is so important in making that link between the curriculum and the community to apply what is taught and make the necessary change around them.
Educators need a lot of training and flexibility to bring what they teach to the real world and to have their students'hands on what should be done. The "aha" moment that came to me yesterday is that we need a self-confident generation to go on with the world and to be able to solve their problems on their own. They have to be ready for that great mission for the future. I think that community based learning helps greatly in forming that future generation as it helps them find the problems, analyse them, study their causes and find solutions.
On the other hand it helps them learn through actions (by doing) and hence keep their knowledge in their memories forever.
