It's our 25th Anniversary!

The International Service-Learning Conference organized by CLAYSS is a space for training and updating the service-learning (SL) pedagogy for educators, authorities and students of all educational levels, as well as members and leaders of community-based and civil society organizations. In turn, it fosters the international exchange of ideas and experiences between schools, higher education institutions, universities and social organizations that develop educational projects with community engagement. It enables the opening of a possible scenario for all those who do not know service-learning but are curious about the projects that are carried out in every corner of the world.

This one-of-a-kind event proposes the expansion of spaces for integration between civil society organizations and the formal educational system for the benefit of equity and educational quality. In 2022, we celebrate the possibility of reaching those who are working in service-learning anywhere on the planet and, at the same time, meeting again in Buenos Aires with friends and colleagues from all over the world.

Objectives:

• To offer a space for training and updating on "the Service-Learning (SL)" pedagogy for educators, authorities and students of all levels, as well as members and leaders of community-based and civil society organizations.
• To promote the international exchange of ideas and experiences between schools, higher education institutions, universities and social organizations which are currently developing educational projects with community engagement, especially those carried out in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• To foster opportunities for a closer connection between civil society organizations and the formal educational system, benefiting both educational equity and quality.
• To celebrate the continuity of the Conference as an expression of an innovative pedagogical movement that keeps on growing based on the creativity of educators and students.
