About Service Learning program
Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection that enriches learning experiences, internalizes civic responsibility and strengthens communities.
The Service Learning Programme aims to generate a systemic change in Catholic Higher Education Institutions (CHEIs), through the institutionalization of service-learning (SL) as a tool to fulfil their mission of an integral education, to generate agents for social change who critically engage for a better society according to the social teachings of the Church.

Each day offers us a new opportunity, a new possibility… We have the space we need for co-responsibility in creating and putting into place new processes and changes. Let us take an active part in renewing and supporting our troubled societies. Today we have a great opportunity to express our innate sense of fraternity… (Fratelli Tutti, 77)
