What is UNISERVITATE?

STORIES
Voices of
Learning Service
"It's a matter of coherence between the command of the Church and the mission of the University (...) It isn't about being good people, it's about giving an opportunity for better quality of teaching and education. This is strategic. Associate it with the improvement processes"
Chantal Jouannet & Manuel Caire, Universidad Católica de Chile
"It is necessary to start from the recognition that the University doesn't own knowledge, and needs to place the leadership in students and the community with their knowledge and experiences"
Daniela Gargantini, Universidad Católica de Córdoba, Argentina
"Service Learning is not a creation of Catholic Universities but we recognize in this methodology many opportunities to educate students. We see how much students learn about themselves, about the course and about society by being confronted with aspects of social justice. SL is a gift from the outside that we Catholic Universities can use to help us deepen our commitment to social engagement, linked to the Church’s social mission".
Nicolas Standaert, Louvain University, Belgium
