Working For and With Communities: Community Engaged and Project Based Learning for the Common Good

This course is a continuation of the Working For and With Communities course series, and is for students who have already taken SCHI 3001 and SCHI 3002. It provides students the opportunity to continue working on our ongoing projects with community partners in Zanzibar: the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA), the Blue Economy Ministry, and others. In summer 2025, Professor Mary Khatib and students from SUZA will come to Boston to work collaboratively with our students in bringing to life recommendations outlined in policy briefs written by the 2024Working For and With Communities team: local governance and educational solutions to Zanzibar's challenges brought on increasing tourism as well as social and climate change. This course helps prepare students with the skills and knowledge they need to support these community-inspired projects. Contact the Schiller Institute for Dept.
