Service-Learning Promotion Programme in Brazil

This programme was established in 2017 to promote and expand the service-learning pedagogical proposal in the Brazilian education system. In November 2017, CLAYSS participated in the foundation of the Service-Learning Brazilian Network, supporting this development through onsite and online teacher-training activities, being part of educational congresses in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, granting scholarships to International Service-Learning Conferences in Argentina and developing pedagogical materials specifically for Brazil.

In 2019, the Network organized the First Service-Learning Conference in Brazil, together with the Escola do Parlamento de Sao Paulo, CENPEC (study and investigation centre in education, culture and community engagement), Instituto Singularidades, OEI (the Organization of Ibero-American States) and other partners. In addition, Regional Solidarity Learning Meetings were held in different corners of the country, such as Minas Gerais, Maranhao, Pernambuco and Porto Alegre. In 2020, CLAYSS participates in the organization and evaluation of the First National Solidarity Learning Award in Brazil, in addition to implementing a programme which specifically provided support to five schools that carry out solidarity educational practices.
