VI Uniservitate Global Symposium [documentary video]
We would like to share with you a documentary video of the sixth edition of the Uniservitate Global Symposium, held on 6 and 7 November at the Catholic University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt.
The meeting brought together professors, researchers, students and leaders in service learning, and featured presentations by leaders from the Global Compact on Education and the Dicastery for Culture and Education.
This video is the result of the work of Kilian Wolkersdorfer and Linus Schnieders, students at the Catholic University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt, and brings together the testimonies of those who participated in person in the last symposium of the Global Uniservitate network.
We share the video of Pope Francis’ tour, guided by students from the Tourism degree programme at the Universidad del Salvador (USAL), for the delegation from the Uniservitate Global Network, as part of the 22nd International Solidarity Service-Learning Week, organised by CLAYSS.
The meeting with representatives of the Uniservitate hubs (organised together with USAL’s University Social Responsibility began with a tour of places emblematic of the life of the former archbishop of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires before he was elected Pope.
As part of the 22nd International Service-Learning Week, held from 19th to 23rd August in Buenos Aires, delegations from Catholic higher education institutions in 24 countries across five continents that make up the Uniservitate global network (Porticus / CLAYSS), dedicated the closing day to visiting one of the experiences in the Carlos Mugica neighbourhood (formerly Villa 31) together with students and professors from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Salvador (USAL) who are participating in the “TIC Solidario” project promoted by the University Social Responsibility Department, in collaboration with the Civil Association “Voces de Barro, para la inclusión social”(Voices of Clay, for social inclusion).
A delegation of almost fifty students, teachers and university researchers from twenty countries that are members of the Uniservitate programme from CLAYSS, visited the Margarita Barrientos Foundation in Villa Soldati as part of the activities of the XX international Week of Service-Learning (AYSS), to be held in Buenos Aires.
During the encounter in the building that once were Margarita Barrientos home, in which today they have a community kitchen and a kindergarten, in the Piletones neighbourhood, the international delegation was able to known a Service-Learning project of diseases prevention and pet care that University of Buenos Aires (UBA) has been carrying out there since 2006.
