Conference Cycle | CApS Project - Service-Learning

Service-Learning is a teaching methodology that combines academic learning with service to the community so that students are trained personally and professionally by working with the real needs of the community. In this methodology the active participation of students and community members and reflection on the experience lived are valued.

In addition to improving academic learning, ApS also aims to instil in students a sense of involvement and civic responsibility, thus contributing to positive social change within society.

We are promoting a Cycle of Conferences to deepen the theme:
