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) 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.

    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.
