The society has increasingly embarked on the journey towards sustainable development. Organisations and enthusiasts from all walks of life are hoping to make real changes at the community level, such as enhancing community cohesion and community well-being. However, collaborating with community stakeholders and making good use of local resources are no easy tasks. The “Community Partnerships” course of the Academy for Sustainable Communities analyses urban and rural communities and introduces real cases and practical tools for effective community partnerships in online and offline contexts.

The course is taught by seasoned community project practitioners. Mr Tse Chun Man has been engaged in Wan Chai community work for over 20 years at St. James’ Settlement, covering areas such as urban redevelopment, community economic mutual aid programmes, social enterprise operations, and community education promotion. Ms Sally Chun has been promoting rural community development in Mainland China for 15 years. Before retiring, she worked as a project coordinator for rural projects at the Hong Kong Community Partners Foundation, launching collaborative projects and extensively participating in community investigations, eco-farming, and traditional culture issues.

社會愈來愈重視可持續發展，各界組織和熱心人士都希望能更加貼地，在社區層面做實事，提升社區的凝聚力和生活福祉。但是要與社區眾多持分者協作，善用社區資源，真的不簡單！永續社區學院「社區協作」課程幫助學員從認識和了解城鄉社區開始，通過社區調研工具和現實案例，探討線上及線下的社區情境，一步步學習推動社區永續發展。

課程由兩位經驗豐富的社區工作者任教。謝振民先生於聖雅各福群會從事灣仔社區工作超過20年，經驗涵蓋市區重建街坊參與倡議、社區經濟互助計劃、社會企業營運和社區教育推廣等領域。秦婉芬小姐推動國內農村社區發展達15年，她在香港「社區伙伴」基金會擔任農村項目統籌期間，開展協作項目，廣泛參與社區調查、生態農耕和傳統文化等議題。
