The action plan is presented to UdG’s university senate as a proposal for driving forward community engagement objectives in line with the university's broader strategic plan “Sum of intelligences” and as a complement to the teaching and learning strategy “UdG XXI” currently in preparation; Aquest document presenta una proposta de pla d'acció per a la participació comunitària a la Universitat de Girona, desenvolupada en col·laboració amb gairebé 40 professionals, estudiants i socis de la comunitat. El pla d'acció es presenta al Claustre Universitari de la UdG com una proposta per impulsar els objectius de compromís comunitari en línia amb el pla estratègic més ampli de la universitat “Suma d'intel·ligències” i com a complement de l'estratègia d'ensenyament i aprenentatge “UdG XXI” que s'està elaborant Document elaborated for the SHEFCE project, pending formal approval before implementation Wed, 01 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10256/25415 2023-03-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10256/23321 Community engagement at the Universitat de Girona: results of TEFCE toolbox implementation Llach Carles, Sílvia; Betts, Alícia; Feliu i Torrent, Jaume; Iglesias Vidal, Edgar; Planas Lladó, Anna; Soler Masó, Pere; Montserrat Boada, Carme The EU-funded project "Steering Higher Education for Community Engagement" aims to further build the capacities of universities, policymakers and stakeholders in Europe for mainstreaming community engagement in higher education. It builds upon the learnings and tools developed by the TEFCE project – Towards a European Framework for Community Engagement in Higher Education (www.tefce.eu). Community engagement is understood as a process whereby universities engage with external organisations to undertake joint activities that can be mutually beneficial even if each side benefits in a different way. The SHEFCE project planned to have three partner institutions implement the TEFCE Toolbox and report back with their findings. This document is the final report of the implementation of the TEFCE Toolbox of the Universitat de Girona assessing its level of community engagement according to seven thematic dimensions: (I) teaching and learning, (II) research, (III) service & knowledge exchange, (IV) students, (V) university-level engagement activities, (VI) institutional policies and (VII) supportive peers. The Universitat de Girona (UdG) was the only institution not guided during the implementation process. The self-assessment is based on the collection and analysis of evidences across the institution of community engagement activities, which in this report is called “mapping practices”. The UdG gathered over 70 practices and activities. Once the mapping and first analysis was ready, the results were shared and discussed in two focus group sessions with relevant stakeholders from the institution and from the region. The discussions were integrated into the mapping report and validated the summary scores for the heatmaps of each sub-dimension. The focus groups also contributed to the results of the SLIPDOT analysis (analysis of strengths, areas of low intensity, potentials for development, opportunities and threats). This document also collects the main findings regarding community engagement at the UdG based on the Toolbox application, and particularly on the SLIPDOT analysis Document elaborat des del Vicerectorat de Territori i Compromís Social de la Universitat de Girona i el grup de recerca LIBERI, i en el marc del projecte SHEFCE (Steering Higher Education for Community Engagement); Contributors (case study authors and workshop participants): Josep Arnau, Antoni Benito, Quim Brugué, Maria Buxó, Josep Calbó, Eduard Carrera, Xavier Casademont, Montse Castro, Lluís Costa, Cristina Diaz, Anna Enrich, Rufina Espín, Sílvia Espinosa, Jordi Freixenet, Frederich Gich, Mònica Gonzàlez, Carles Gras, Jaume Guia, Raquel Heras, Pep Juandó, Marc Malagelada, Sara Malo, Enric Manuel, Carolina Martí, David Martí, Laura Masferrer, Sílvia Mayoral, Angels Merino, Pili Monreal, José Antonio Langarita, Josep Lloret, Sílvia Lloveras, Edi López, Jèssica López, M.
