The International Service-Learning Conference hosted by CLAYSS—one of its kind—is 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. Moreover, it promotes the international exchange of ideas and experiences between schools, higher education institutions, universities and social organizations which are currently developing solidarity educational projects. It provides a new view to all those who are not familiar with SL but are curious about the projects carried out worldwide. 

In 2021, we are celebrating the continuity of the Conference as an expression of an innovative pedagogical movement that continues to grow based on the creativity of educators and students, even in times as unique as the ones we are living.

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 solidarity educational projects, 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 continues to grow based on the creativity of educators and students.
