O knihe

This book showcases compelling case study examples of successful university–community service-learning projects in socially and economically developing regions in India and South Asia, South East Asia and Central and Latin America. Through creative and collaborative initiatives, the cases demonstrate the powerful role of service-learning in bridging higher education with real-world community needs. The examples presented offer valuable insights and inspiration for educators, administrators, and community leaders worldwide. They emphasize how service-learning can foster both social impact and academic excellence by aligning student learning with local priorities. Each chapter explores how Higher Education Institutions can drive meaningful change by aligning service-learning with community needs and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering inclusive, quality education and social impact. The book serves as a practical guide for integrating community engagement into teaching and learning, helping institutions reimagine their role in shaping a more inclusive and socially responsible future.
