Communitivity and Intercommunitivity as Tools for Collective Learning to Address Ethnic Service Programming, Delivery and Evaluation

Journal of Social Science Studies, 2015, vol. 2, issue 1, 98-105

Abstract: These research notes are based on my last ten years of experience as a community worker in a multicultural setting and a university researcher on immigrant services. The aim is 1) to introduce two new terms - communitivity and intercommunitivity ¨C which appeal for moving beyond ethnic group juxtaposition and 2) generate new ways of thinking about how communities with different cultural grounds can construct collective meanings which support a better understanding of programming, delivery and evaluation of services in multicultural communities. The paper has implications on public policy and immigrant services programming, delivery and evaluation.
