30th Anniversary of the Solidarity Action Programme at the Carlos Pellegrini School of Commerce

On 16th October, a ceremony was held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Acción Solidaria [Solidarity Action],” a programme run by the Carlos Pellegrini School of Commerce at the University of Buenos Aires [Website in Spanish]. This programme institutionalized service-learning at the school through a mandatory subject for 1st and 2nd year students. It also remains an optional activity for 3rd to 6th year students and other members of the school community who wish to participate.

As part of this celebration, a participatory exhibition was held in the central hall of the building, including visits from partner institutions and a ceremony attended by authorities, community leaders, graduates, teachers, coordinators, assistants, families and students.

Enrique Ochoa, our executive director and a graduate of the school, represented CLAYSS at the event.
