A workshop entitled “Constructing the Leadership Canvas in Community Engagement” was carried out in Padang, Indonesia by APUCEN from a grant from Higher Education Leadership (AKEPT), Ministry of Education, Malaysia. The participants were mainly APUCEN members and community engagement experts from seven countries, namely, Thailand, Germany, UK, Australia, Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia.

  • Develop an UCE Framework which encompasses (1) Key process in UCE, (2) Stakeholders and partnership, (3) Good practices, (4) Leadership and capacity building, and (5) Impact Assessment.
