Community Service and action
Promoting community wellbeing implies action. The development of spiritual qualities and attitudes, the understanding of concepts and the acquisition of skills and abilities are all meant to lead to action. To contribute to community wellbeing, Promoters will carry out practical exercises and projects which are an integral part of the learning process. When they are carried out effectively they help participants see the implications of serving as a Promoter thereby increasing the levels of motivation. In a sense we can think of becoming a promoter of community wellbeing as a process through which one’s actions to contribute to and engage in social action become more systematic and effective. This process begins immediately one engages in the study of the texts and in the related practices and projects. As he/she advances along the courses he/she becomes a more effective Promoter able to engage in complex actions. Being a promoter of community wellbeing is therefore not something that happens at the end of the program; it is a path on which one walks from the beginning of his participation in the program.
