Abstract
The implementation of university-community engagement projects is neither novel nor is it in the mainstream in many universities in Malaysia. This paper describes a university-community cross-border engagement programme involving a Malaysian university and a community in Thailand. The challenges the team faced and lessons learnt from a series of four project phases are detailed. The chapter concludes with some recommendations for future cross-border civic engagement projects to ensure that they can work as intended and may contribute towards a stronger ASEAN.
