CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY-ACTION INITIATIVES

Background Information for Learners:

Community-Action Initiatives is an effort to involve residents, local groups and other
organizations pursue common goals as guided by the core values and principles of
community engagement, solidarity, and citizenship.
Putting the people together makes a community prosper because we allow them in
the creation, designing, and implementing varied programs and activities for the
benefit of all.
The concept of human rights, social justice, empowerment and advocacy,
participatory development, and gender development are vital to strengthen our
knowledge on how community works.
In the past lessons, we have learned the importance of community action as a way to
solve issues in our communities and those affecting marginalized groups of people.
The different initiatives undertaken in every corner of our community have
transcended beyond the unraveling of the problems of human rights, social equity,
gender equality, and participatory development. As a member of the youth sector, you
are presumed to be the “hope of nation”. As such you must actively take part in all
the affairs of your community. By doing so, you are not just contributing to the
success of your community but for the entire community as well.
The need to engage yourself in different projects whether it is a long-term or short-
term is indispensable which could radiate positivity among all the youth in your
community. Furthermore, you should also be the first one to initiate projects.
Thinking of what project that can be done in your community? Are you planning for a
long-term or a short-term project?
Short-term projects take a few hours, days, or weeks to complete. Long-term
projects take months or even years to finish. Sometimes that action needs to be
confrontational, to improve the lot of one group relative to another, and sometimes it
needs to be conciliatory, taking down the walls and bringing people together as equals.
Let us try to activate your views about community-action initiatives by doing this set
of activities.
