For the third consecutive year, the Booster Campaign is an annual initiative aimed at encouraging educators, training teams and educational support staff to undertake service-learning initiatives or strengthen their existing ones.
The KU Leuven, KU Leuven Association ‘Plus’ organizes the Booster Campaign with the support of Uniservitate. It targets the seven Catholic universities of applied arts and sciences: UC Leuven-Limburg, Hogeschool VIVES, Thomas Hogeschool, Odisee, LUCA School of Arts, Arteveldehogeschool and Karel de Grote Hogeschool.
Educators participating in this campaign can focus their internships on socially relevant experiences and receive pedagogical and financial support to advance their careers in service-learning. Regarding the students, the service-learning course offers them a unique opportunity to discover themselves and test their skills and knowledge.
This year, the campaign offers financial support per subject to fund new activities or further service-learning proposals, a two-day workshop to help participants immediately put their ideas into practice and an intervision meeting to exchange mutual advice with peers and experts.
