Service learning is an innovative didactic method that connects formal education with active community engagement. This course allows students to develop not only key knowledge and skills, but also a sense of responsibility and civic engagement. The aim is to strengthen the university's third mission, foster community spirit, raise awareness of social issues, and support active citizenship.
Throughout the course, students will develop the following core competences: Civic and social competences - active engagement in social issues, responsible attitude toward community needs, solidarity and public involvement. Communication skills - ability to communicate with diverse audiences, including institutional representatives, community partners, and peers; effective presentation and feedback. Teamwork and leadership - ability to collaborate in diverse teams, resolve conflicts, lead small working groups or coordinate activities. Project management and planning - ability to define objectives, plan project phases, manage resources, time, and responsibilities. Reflection and self-reflection - capacity to reflect on one's role, contributions, and learning through practical experience; development of metacognitive thinking.
