Civic Engagement Reflection • Modified from Reed & Koliba, Facilitating Reflection, A Manual for Leaders and Educators

What? • • • What do I hope to get out of this project? What do I know about the partners that we are engaging with? (e. g. mission, goals) What is challenging or surprising about working with partners? What did partners share with me? What role did I have as an outsider? What about myself did I share with others?

So What? • • • What am I learning about others? Did I gain any insights that will help me or other students in the future? Were their any cultural or situational barriers? What worked? What didn’t? And could I do something differently next time? How does this relate to my other life experience? Have I grown? What have I learned about community or societal issue that is new to me? What actions might you take to help with the societal issue you worked on in the future?

Now What • Should I stay involved in the community? • Did this experience provide me with skills for work or to continue to support my community? • Will I engage in the future with partners on community issues? • How do we take our geoscience learning to help communities? • What might we do to expand awareness of this issue or better deal with this issue? • Are their policies or deeper community actions needed to address this issue. • What next steps will you take, or could someone with interest in this issue take?
