Whom do you immerse

with in the community?

-Parents, youth, constituents, professionals, and potential collaborators of your
project/activity.
● When one goes to a community, he associates with the people whom
he intends to work with a partners or allies in the community.
● We do not just work for and serve the people but rather we encourage
their participation.
● Community immersion is empowering the people towards
development of the locality.

 What conditions that
one may qualify for
community immersion?
● It is so desired that one fundamental pre-requisite qualification among those
who intend or are tasked to undergo community immersion is a full
understanding of the concepts and theories behind the dynamics of groups and
community.
● Training-wise, community developer/organizers and social workers are most
qualified because it is assumed that they have more or less formal background
on carrying out these kinds to organizing work.
● As for NSTP, students enrolled in NSTP-CWTS/LTS 2 are mandated to undergo
community immersion for a period covering a minimum of 54 hours to a
maximum of 90 hours a cited from CHED – prescribed Program of Instruction
(OPI), 2007 edition.
