For the first time, the Department of Youth and Community Studies within the Faculty for Social Wellbeing is organising the Master of Arts in Community Action and Development.
Community Development is an interdisciplinary academic paradigm with a long tradition.
The M.A. in Community Action and Development delves into the intellectualising of issues such as community education, empowerment and emancipation, citizenship, inclusion and exclusion, social movements, social capital, globalisation, sustainable development and education for sustainable development.
The programme of study is designed around five distinct yet interrelated knowledge dimensions:
1. community studies, sociology, politics and governance
2. community pedagogy and educational intervention
3. community activism and participation
4. community psychology
5. professional practice.
The M.A. in Community Action and Development is intended for those working or planning to work in EU, state and civil society organisations.
Anyone who is interested is invited to contact andrew.azzopardi@um.edu.mt.
