Service learning

Service learning is an educational approach that combines learning and service to the community in a single, well-defined project. Students acquire knowledge, competencies, skills and/or values in a subject by working on a civic responsibility project within a real service to society, whether that is an institution or a business.

SPACE REQUIREMENTS: 

Generally, most of the activity takes place outside the University, in collaboration with external entities, so the facilities required will depend on the way each project develops.

NUMBER OF STUDENTS PER GROUP: 

This depends on the type of project and community service.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS: 

Collaboration with entities external to the University whose work relates to the subject being taught.

DURATION:

Sessions in which there is interaction with the recipients of the service are generally longer than standard classes and may not coincide with the set timetable. Planning may need to be a bit flexible. 

TECHNOLOGICAL FACILITATORS:

Collaborative work tools.
