      ab: Limited financial resources and social problems in the communities surrounding the University of the Free State (UFS) in South Africa prompted the need for community engagement as a core university activity. A facilitator in the form of a non-profit company called the Khula Xhariep Partnership (KXP) was created to ensure sustainable opportunities for members involved in community engagement. In 2005, the Physiotherapy Department of the UFS initiated a community outreach programme in the form of a service learning module with specific service learning pedagogic skills and outcomes to meet the mandatory requirements of all the relevant statutory bodies, and the mission statement of the KXP. From this service learning module, it became clear that effective civic engagement can only take place when integrated in all university activities, within a structured curriculum with definite teaching and learning outcomes, quality academic supervision, assessment and research.
