From Classroom to Community: Learning Through Field
Do you think classroom learning is not enough? Want to know how it can translate into practice?
Field engagement is central to understanding social realities. While classroom learning provides conceptual and analytical frameworks, it is through working with communities, institutions, and real-world contexts that these ideas are tested, deepened, and often rethought.
This session focuses on the role of field practice in higher education, particularly in programmes that engage with development, public systems, and social change. The discussion will explore how field immersion shapes learning, the kinds of experiences students have during fieldwork, and how these experiences contribute to building critical perspectives and professional capabilities.
