What is Service-learning?


Service learning is an educational approach that combines service to a community with academic learning. The goal of service-learning is to provide students with real-world experiences that complement their academic studies and helps them develop a deeper understanding of the course material. Through their service activities, students actively contribute to the betterment of their community, creating a lasting and meaningful impact. By means of reflection\students can connect their service experiences to their academic work and to their personal and civic growth. 

 

Work-integrated learning in the Faculty of Education includes a component of service-learning, as part of The IIE’s strategy to graduate students who are active participants in their communities and global citizens.
