The Latin American Centre for Solidarity Service-Learning in Uruguay, together with the Education Directorate of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay and the El Chajá Civil Association, are organizing the 19th edition of the online course Transformando realidades: el aprendizaje-servicio como pedagogía activa [Transforming Realities: Service-Learning as Active Pedagogy].
The course is aimed at educators, school administrators, inspectors, specialists, and workshop leaders in the formal and informal education systems, including officials from the National Rehabilitation Institute and the National Institute for Adolescent Social Inclusion in Uruguay. The 45-hour online course seeks to promote the planning, implementation and institutionalization of community-based educational projects using the solidarity service-learning (SSL) approach. It also aims to identify the characteristics of an SSL project and its differences from other solidarity-based practices, and apply tools for the diagnosis, planning, development and evaluation of projects.
The assessment of the course will be done through the presentation of a final project, applying the knowledge acquired, to help participants turn their learning into concrete proposals that will have an effect on their community.
With this new edition of the course, which has 168 educators registered, we reaffirm our commitment to teacher training, pedagogical innovation, and the development of active citizenship.
