LGS are very passionate about our social and moral responsibilities in the diverse global communities that we have a presence. LGS are an official partner of the 'Ayesha Academy Trust' charity.
LGS favour the Community Based Learning Initiative (CBLI), which is the collaborative effort of students, faculty, administration and community experts, all working together to provide students with opportunities for community involvement and relevant hands on research in the classroom.
Community-based learning enriches coursework by encouraging students to apply the knowledge and analytic tools gained in the classroom to the pressing issues that affect local communities. Working with faculty members and community leaders, students develop research projects, collect and analyse data, and share their results and conclusions with the organisations and agencies that need the information, as well as with their Professors. Not only does the community benefit, but students' understanding of the subject is also greatly enhanced.
LGS and the wider community have much to teach and much to learn from each other. LGS students and staff are eager to build connections between their academic work on campus and the large (and very real) world beyond the campus. The CBLI enables our students to make a difference in the community by utilising their knowledge gained at LGS. |
