Chemistry is learnt through performing analysis in the school laboratory the quality of the water that neighbours consume. 6th-grade students learn Geography by making three-dimension relief maps for a school of visually impaired students, and 6th-grade blind students make signs in Braille so that the streets of their city are more accessible to everyone.

Students of Architecture and Design go from scale models to the construction of a soup kitchen in a community, or the design students create models of toys that can be produced by the community microenterprise. Agronomy students develop networks of urban gardens for the unemployed, and Veterinary Medicine students advise the smallest and most forgotten farmers. University no longer values academic quality for the kilometres of printed paper of publications for the initiated, but for the impact of what has been learned and researched on real-life problems of the supported community, and for the ability of its graduates to apply their knowledge to the service of the development of their country.<\/li>\n<li>the solidarity work of the youths or the community organization is also a conscious way of learning and applying things that are best learned by participating, such as how to work in a team, how to obtain and manage resources, how to communicate ideas and ideals, how to influence those who have decision-making power, how to give a loud voice to those who generally do not have it.<\/li>\n<li>All these examples are real and come from educational institutions as well as organizations that are in contact with CLAYSS, and which CLAYSS accompanies, supports, advises or trains so that they can continue developing their projects.<\/li>\n<li>An educational methodology that develops significant learning and promotes problem-based learning, to offer specific solutions and optimize the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes.

In this proposal, educational institutions do not &#8220;extend&#8221; to a supposed &#8220;outside,&#8221; nor are they transformed into a kind of community centre that tries to meet all the multiple social demands. Instead, they see themselves as part of their territory and community, and are connected as network hubs that work in alliances, establishing bonds of mutual enrichment (Tapia, 2000:141-50). In a traditional educational institution, you learn only in classrooms and laboratories.
