Abstract

A new community engagement review tool is being developed in an European context, in the TEFCE project (Towards a European Framework for Community Engagement in Higher Education). This chapter details the design principles of its methodology, in comparison to previous tools such as the Carnegie Foundation's Elective Classification for Community Engagement, and it illustrates its use on one of the four pilot reviews undertaken to date, at the University of Twente (the Netherlands). The seven dimensions of the TEFCE tool proved to be effective to analyze all aspects of community engagement, focusing on narratives of initiatives. The narrative approach's flexibility proved effective to allow attention to unique elements in community engagement initiatives. The chapter ends in lessons drawn for further development of the tool and for those interested in using TEFCE or similar approaches.
