Collaborative engagement
The Faculty of Community and Health Sciences brings together four complementary areas of engagement, each responding to distinct community needs while contributing to a shared vision of engaged scholarship.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate how teaching, learning, research and community engagement can intersect to create meaningful and sustained societal impact.
Rather than operating as isolated projects, the four areas are connected through a common commitment to partnership, co-creation, capacity development and community-responsive practice.
The four project arms form the foundation of our collective engagement:
01 — Rethinking & Reimagining Health Professions Education
02 — Mothers Benefiting from the Student-Led Wellness Centre
03 — Work Skills Development for People with Disabilities
04 — Mentoring School Learners
These four areas are part of the broader faculty project, Use of student-led health and wellness programmes across peri-urban and rural communities in the Western Cape (South Africa).

Collective scholarship of engagement
Our collective scholarship of engagement is a faculty-wide approach that connects teaching, learning, research and community engagement through sustained, reciprocal partnerships with communities. Across diverse projects and populations, we work with communities to identify needs, co-develop responses, create opportunities for learning and capacity development, generate knowledge, and translate that knowledge into meaningful societal impact.
