The third Uniservitate Global Symposium was held at LUMSA University in Rome, Italy, on October 27th and 28th, 2022. It was free of charge and in person, with streaming in English, Spanish and Italian.
Students, educators, researchers and experts from over 30 universities worldwide shared experiences and reflections on using the service-learning pedagogy to achieve the dream of being brothers and sisters.
The event was coordinated by CLAYSS and Porticus and organised by Uniservitate and the LUMSA University in collaboration with the International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU) and the Australian Catholic University (ACU).
Concerning the Global Compact on Education, the third edition revolved around the following thematic areas: Dignity and human rights, Fraternity and cooperation, Technology and integral ecology, Peace and citizenship, and Cultures and religions.
In addition, the meeting was the perfect opportunity to meet the protagonists of the winning experiences of the Uniservitate Award 2022, led by students, educators and solidarity-based communities. Therefore, it aims to promote solidarity-based humanism, develop the spiritual dimension of service and reinforce the identity and mission of Higher Education Institutions.
