TRAINING FOR SERVICE-LEARNING PROMOTERS
This online course offers theoretical and practical tools to provide advice, support and guidance to different institutions, as well as communication skills and prosocial attitudes that enhance management expertise as service-learning promoters.

The objective is to train agents for the service-learning promotion who may accompany through training, tutoring and technical assistance to educators and authorities from educational institutions of all levels, as well as leaders of civil society organizations, to plan, develop and assess the quality of service-learning projects.

This course is entirely online. Participants will have optional online activities (videoconferences) with tutors or references regarding the topics being worked on. The tutors will be constantly monitoring the participants’ approach regarding conceptual contents, suggested activities and their production of a proposal to support an institution that has been carrying out solidarity educational experiences.
Participants will be assisted by renowned specialists in this field who will continually offer advice and guide the individual production of a final integration project, which should introduce a work plan for institutional support as well as the design of tools for the institutions’ first training. Each participant should spend an estimate of 8 hours per week reading and elaborating the topics proposed in the course.
