AURORA
SERVICE LEARNING EXPERT CENTER
SERVICE LEARNING EXPERT CENTER
At the core of the Aurora alliance is its cardinal goal to equip students with the right knowledge, skills, mindset, and experience to address societal challenges as agents of change. The Service Learning (SL) and Co-creation approach can help bring this core mission of the Aurora alliance to fruition. This online expert center provides relevant information, tools, resources and support to foster the use of service learning and co-creation in Aurora Universities.
Service-learning is an academic teaching/learning method that connects meaningful community service with academic learning, personal growth, and civic responsibility. Co-creation is a form of service-learning which entails collaboration of diverse stakeholders in co-production of value/knowledge (concepts, solutions, products, services). Together these two approaches foster engagement of academicians and students with societal stakeholders to address societal challenges.

We hope these resources will help interested teachers and students to apply service learning and co-creation in their academic practice.
