Report : there is no format to these report just the highlighted requirements in colour must be discussed.

Reflect on how you learned through the community engagement, how you grew as a person, how you matured by evaluating the community you were engaged with.

The common goods mission adaptation and the ways they were caring for the audience.

• The audience: the community of people that you helped to serve during the placement

As my community engagement volunteering was on Montefiore home an age care where most of the community are Jewish and among them some were holocaust and world war ll survivors. The link to the organization

https://www.montefiore.org.au/

https://www.montefiore.org.au/be-involved/volunteer/

all the information require about the organization is in the website mentioned above.

Start with introduction to organization and people who live in there like Jewish community,.

Reflect on what you did not know holocaust and war world ll survivors. Terror and mental affect on people due to those incidents in past. Can focus on dementia and disability amongst elderly people and what you know now about dealing with the key audience. And how that will help you in moving forward. The relationship between the student and the placement organisation and clients served.

• The purpose: the common good served , the kinds of disadvantage observed, and/or the client needs addressed during the placement

Present learning through the community engagement about the organization:

Focus on The transformative experience

· What they were trying to do

· Were they providing proper social support

· Were they providing a sense of choice, wellbeing and dignity

· What was the purpose that was observed as the role of organization

· Importantly the needs that the clients addressed

• The alignment of practice with theory: consider the community engagement theory, consider you research in assessment 2, is this what you saw in practice?

· Consider the theory from #assessment 2 and relate with community engagement in an age care.

· Theory of social innovation and the theory of reciprocity

· Theory of giving, receiving and growing in the process

· for improving your performance in the community engagement placement

· for improving the way that the organization is interacting with the residents in the age care

· for improving ways to engage volunteers into your community placement and into community placement in general.

· For generally improving the social context of community engagement and some open system strategy which might actually improve holistically the social circumstance with in the age care community.

· Reflection: on your own values, assumptions and attitudes and the skills developed through the placement

· Reflect on own growth through the community engagement with people with Montefiore home.

· Assumption and attitude you had towards elderly people, jewish specifically holocaust and war survivors.
