Research
Participants will complete a research assignment in the form of a research paper, a risk assessment of their own community, or a 20-30 minute presentation teaching the concepts and skills gained through the course of the programme. All projects will be assessed by a panel consisting of SJRC's faculty and selected partners at the end of the programme.
Seminars
Attend seminars taught by SJRC's faculty and partners in a variety of topics, including community-based development, missions in your community, modern slavery, how to assess
your community’s need, and using Christ’s example to reach people and uplift communities. These seminars will be taught at SJRC and will not be graded. Seminars are designed to introduce students to key concepts in how to be missional in your community.
