CLAYSS at in the Universidad de las Américas (UDLA) Seminar in Chile on Liaison with Society

Enrique Ochoa addressed nearly 300 attendees.

On 7th January, UDLA Chile hosted the seminar “A+S y compromiso comunitario en la educación superior [A+S and Community Engagement in Higher Education]“. On this occasion, CLAYSS Executive Director, Enrique Ochoa, delivered a keynote speech and participated in a panel discussion alongside Berta Paz, founder and president of the Asociación Española de Aprendizaje-Servicio Universitario (Spanish Association for Service-Learning at University).

The event was a significant success, bringing together more than 80 in-person attendees and nearly 200 online participants. This large audience highlights the growing interest of the Ibero-American scholars in establishing solidarity service-learning as a key pedagogy for social transformation.

In the afternoon, Enrique Ochoa joined Berta Paz, who led a specialized workshop for the UDLA faculty, based on providing resources to develop and institutionalize service-learning innitiatives within the university.

CLAYSS would like to thank the Universidad de las Américas for the invitation. We also celebrate such opportunities for cooperation to strengthen solidarity-based education throughout the region.
