It's our 25th Anniversary!

On 25th and 26th August 2022, once again Buenos Aires is the meeting point for the leading service-learning specialists worldwide. Organized by CLAYSS, we expect that this year it will be face-to-face again, although it will have a virtual instance for those who will accompany us during these two years and will not be able to travel to participate. Speakers and audiences from all regions of the planet joined in 2020 and 2021 and gave us the opportunity to continue enjoying this meeting. Participation is free but registration in advance is required.

Very soon we will provide all the information to access our registration form. The Conference will be celebrated in the context of the Service-Learning Week and will include workshops, conferences, panels and debates with the participation of renowned speakers and active participants of service-learning experiences around the world. Later, the material will be available on the YouTube channel (@clayssdigital) where you can subscribe today and activate notifications to get updates. In 2020 and 2021, we have more than 3,000 subscribers connecting from 60 countries all over the world.

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.
