The Service-Learning, Inclusion and Digital Empowerment Manifesto

This Service-Learning, Inclusion and Digital Empowerment Manifesto is addressed to all relevant service-learning stakeholders:

  • Higher education teachers
  • Higher education students
  • Higher education educational leaders
  • Community partners

The SL&DE Manifesto challenges the current teaching and learning approaches, and it entrices readers to think about a new paradigm where online and offline components go hand in hand. It is designed as a platform for further debate, and a resource to be used by the stakeholder groups.

The Manifesto was created through a process of consulting members of the various stakeholder groups from across Europe, through group discussions. The discussions explored the need for digital empowerment and service learning, its innovative properties, the impact we expect it to have and what best practices are for digitally enhanced service learning.
