A Real Community Bridge: Informing Community-Based Learning through a Model of Participatory Public Art

Abstract

Community-based learning has the power to encourage and sustain the intellectual curiosity of learners. By most accounts, community-based learning is a process that creates a collaborative environment of scholarship that holds individual differences, as well as similarities, in high esteem. It is a process, as the phrase suggests, that extends beyond brick and mortar walls and artificial time frames. Community-based learning finds its content in the real world and at its own moment.
