To complete a Service as Action activity, you need to write a reflection on Managebac. A reflection is not an account or description of what happened, but should focus on what you learnt, how you felt, and what you have learnt from your Service as Action experience. Your reflection should also identify how you have achieved the learning outcomes you selected for that experience. The most effective way to do this is to write your reflections as you go. You should also add your evidence to your reflection, this could be in the form of photographs, emails or videos from your Service as Action activities. You can use your allocated time to do this.
