Community Needs Mapping
Structured listening, surveys and field notes to identify education, welfare and youth priorities.
Academic and community collaboration
UPM Collaboration Project
A community knowledge partnership with Universiti Putra Malaysia, connecting academic insight, student participation and Anak Temangan community priorities.
Purpose
Bringing university knowledge closer to community needs.
The collaboration is designed to help community work become more informed, organised and measurable while giving students and academic partners meaningful exposure to local service, social responsibility and community engagement.
Persatuan Anak Temangan provides community context, local coordination and follow-up channels. UPM-linked participants can contribute research support, volunteer energy, documentation, training and practical knowledge.
Collaboration pillars
Four ways the partnership can serve the community.
Student Service Learning
Opportunities for students to contribute through supervised community projects and volunteer activities.
Knowledge Transfer
Workshops, mentoring and practical sessions that support families, students and young volunteers.
Impact Documentation
Better reporting, privacy-conscious case notes and programme learning for future improvement.
UPM
How the work feels on the ground
Academic support becomes useful when it listens first.
A useful collaboration does not begin with a report. It begins with people sitting together, understanding what families and young people are already facing, and asking what kind of help can continue after a visit ends.
This project keeps that principle at the centre: community priorities first, practical contribution second, responsible documentation throughout.
