Service-learning is a powerful approach that connects academic learning with meaningful community engagement, but its greatest lessons often emerge when we look beyond our own borders. This session invites participants to explore how service-learning is being shaped and reimagined by diverse cultures and communities worldwide. Drawing on best practices and inspiring examples, we will examine how global perspectives can deepen our understanding of what makes service-learning equitable, impactful, and sustainable.

Participants will discover how international models emphasize authentic partnership, cultural humility, and community-driven goals, principles that are essential for success whether projects are local or global. We’ll discuss how schools and organizations around the world prepare students for cross-cultural engagement, foster reflection, and ensure that service initiatives are mutually beneficial for both students and communities. Through case studies and interactive dialogue, attendees will gain practical strategies for incorporating global insights into their own service-learning programs, strengthening outcomes for learners and communities alike.

Join us to learn how the world’s classrooms, communities, and cultures can expand our vision of service-learning and inspire us to build more just, connected, and resilient societies.
