Civic Engagement

The effect of student growth can only be felt by the contribution that they make to society. Learning to take responsibility for the transformation of the community is a mark of students transitioning into adulthood.

Developing Responsible Citizens

Community Service

In Academic City, students are encouraged to offer services to the community beyond their own circumstances.

Project Experience

Civic engagement projects open students to how project cycles work in the real world to solve social challenges.

Developing Empathy

The key feature of civic engagement is that it allows students to integrate with communities and develop a sense of empathy.

Working on civic engagement projects allows for guided independence, safe risk-taking, and guidance for reflection

Featured Initiatives

The Bnari Farms Project

The Class of 2023 worked extensively on agriculture as part of the newly introduced Technology and Society Course Challenge at ACity.

The project saw the students get closer to Bnari Farms, a neighbouring vegetable farming community, where they built a formidable relationship with the farming community, and with the innovative use of technology, among others, assisted the local farmers to add value to their processes and produce.

The Ventilator Project

When the global Corona pandemic hit the shores of Ghana in March 2020, it offered students of ACity the unique opportunity to rise up to the task and find solutions to the many challenges brought to light by the spread of the virus in the country.

A daring team of engineering students, under the guidance of our President, engaged in the invention of a ventilator for the good of the community.By connecting our students with communities and activities, we hope to ground our students in the everyday activities of society, beyond the university campus and our families.
