Applying a Service Learning approach in course design (2026) Applying a Service Learning approach in course design (2026) ============================================================== - Innovative Pedagogies - Service Learning - Course, module or learning opportunity - Academics This module is the result of collaboration between CIVIS Service Learning experts and the alliance's pedagogical innovation area. Taking the [CIVIS Service Learning Guide for Lecturers (2024)](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-service-learning-guidelines-for-lecturers-2024.pdf) as a reference, this asynchronous module was designed to give teachers a practical, step-by-step pathway for designing Service Learning sequences in their own context. The module is open to the entire CIVIS teaching community and has been designed for both people who want to discover this methodology and eductors who have an ongoing project and are looking for practical advice on how to develop it. Is is available in the CIVIS Moodle.

That was the clear message from the keynote panel held on 28 April, 2026 in Brussels as part of the CIVIS Units Summit, which brought together representatives from EU institutions, researchers and alliance leaders to take stock of achievements and challenges ahead and discuss with over 70 CIVIS Staff members about the future of alliances. - European Degree - European Universities initiative - Communication and Dissemination - Article - Audiovisual materials - Video - Students - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/european-universities-alliances-impact-insights-and-the-road-ahead-april-2026 "European Universities alliances: Impact, Insights, and the Road Ahead (April 2026)") - ### Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021) Building partnerships with African and Mediterranean universities outside Europe is an importantstrategic aim of CIVIS and one of its distinct features as a European University alliance (1). By 2022, the end of CIVIS’ “fabric phase”, our alliance seeks to win at least one partner institution in the target regions for each of its established thematic Hubs (2). This implies initiating some first joint pilot projects as well as to prepare and adopt longer-term strategic partnership agreements between CIVIS and partner universities. - Global partnerships - Audiovisual materials - Report - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/briefing-paper-building-a-bridge-towards-africa-and-the-mediterranean-region-2021 "Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021)") ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
