Live with community 1 (one) night in addressing social issues, youth, the environment, religion, education, etc. will show us the social challenge for youth. The exposure have been carefully selected to bring us closer to the people, their lives, their struggle; to the earth and nature to” hear” their groans amidst the pain and destruction inflicted on them; and to experience the beauty and joy of God’s creation and hope for the future.

This program is an opportunity for people to people dialogue. It can be learning platform into inner issues, the hidden issues impacting the community. In other words, this exposure may taken as an effort to see what has laid open… hence community exposure can be taken to be an effort to see the realities as they are openly laid open for participants to see and experience.

A learning program is a co-ordinated sequence of modules designed to meet a particular learning objective or objectives. Programs can be "blended" in that they can combine both synchronous and asynchronous modules, and both online and offline modules.
Typically, you would create multiple sessions for a particular program if you have essentially the same sequence of modules taking place at different times, or in different geographical locations. For example, you might have a Spring 2007 session and a Fall 2007 session for a particular program. Usually an individual learner would be enrolled in at most one session of a particular program.
