Description

What borders are we talking about, and how might we be enriched by crossing these borders? Answers to these questions can broaden our horizons with reference to the borders that we need to cross in order to develop and institutionalized Service-Learning. Furthermore, identification of outcomes from Service-Learning beyond the obvious is essential to integrate Service-Learning into the academic curricula. We know that Service-Learning yield student learning, but is it worth academic credits? We know community service is performed, but what else?
