Service-Learning Networks

CLAYSS is collaborating with partners from all regions worldwide to create and strengthen Service-Learning networks. During these weeks, there have been different activities, such as the meeting of the Italian service-learning Network in higher education in Rome on 26th September. The new edition of the European Conference "Futures of Service-Learning: Digital Empowerment, Transformational Literacy and Civic Engagement" was organized by EASLHE (European Association of Service-Learning in Higher Education). It took place in the last week of September in Rome, Italy. Luz Avruj and Andres Peregalli (CLAYSS-Uniservitate) presented papers at this event with attendants from all over the world.
