本文构建了一个跨学科的视角来考虑大学剧院的社区参与计划，我们怎么样：赋予社区声音。我们主张将“开放的第三空间”作为学院去殖民化的一种方式，同时构建高等教育和社区伙伴关系。在此过程中，我们重新思考了知识交换框架（KEF）中关于学术知识特权的假设。我们主张大学有必要将知识交流视为一种自反过程，即来自非大学环境的合作伙伴的知识与来自学院的知识平等地定位。Lave和Wenger的“实践社区”将社区视为同质群体，在此基础上，我们采用了deierien的观点，将项目合作伙伴视为独特的知识持有者；使我们能够帮助框架，塑造和创造对剧院所在的伍尔维奇多元文化社区感兴趣的活动。通过这样做，我们能够反思我们在社区参与计划中的共同经验，并将“开放的第三空间”引入文献，它融合了Ngũgĩ wa Thiong ' o的“开放空间”和Oldenburg的“第三空间”的关键组成部分，作为一种实用的工作方式和一套原则，随着剧院发展其社区参与战略，这些原则将需要进一步分解。
This paper constructs an inter-disciplinary lens to consider a University Theatre’s community engagement programme,What About Us: Empowering Community Voices. We argue for an ‘Open-Third Space’ as a way of decolonising the academy whilst constructing Higher Education and Community Partnerships. In doing so we re-think assumptions around privileging academic knowledge within Knowledge Exchange Frameworks (KEF). We assert the need for universities to consider knowledge exchange as a reflexive process whereby the knowledge of partners coming from non-university settings is positioned equitably with those from the academy. Moving beyond Lave and Wenger’s ‘Community of Practice’, which considers communities as homogenous groups, we take a Dreierien perspective, considering project partners as unique knowledge holders; enabling us to help frame, shape and create activity which is of interest to the multi-cultural community of Woolwich, where the Theatre sits. In doing so we are able to reflect on our shared experiences across the community engagement programme and introduce ‘Open-Third Space’ to the literature, which fuses the critical components of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s ‘open space’ and Oldenburg’s ‘third space,’ as a practical way of working and as a set of principles which will need further unpacking as the theatre develops its community engagement strategy.
