AURORA INTERNATIONAL WEBINAR SERIES: Service Learning for societal impact

Share

Are you involved with or interested in Societal engagement practices? Do you want to engage with and improve your collaboration with societal partners in your education? Then join this 5-pack webinar series.

Service Learning for Societal Impact

Service learning connects students, teachers and societal partners around real questions from society. Done well, it benefits everyone involved. Doing it well, though, takes practice: building trust with partners, working across disciplines and borders, and knowing how to assess what students actually learn.

Each webinar takes one of these challenges and looks at it through the experience of people who work with it every day. Every session includes a live Q&A, so you can bring your own questions and situations.

The series runs every Thursday from 19 November to 17 December 2026, 14:00 to 15:00 CET. You can join one session or all five.

5 sessions, 5 themes, diverse experts

  • 19 November: Introduction to community service learning
  • 26 November: Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary community service learning
  • 3 December: Fostering transglobal collaborations in education and research
  • 10 December: Building meaningful engagement of societal stakeholders in service learning: firsthand field experiences
  • 17 December: Building competencies for societal impact: learning objectives and assessment with the LOUIS competencies framework

Featuring:

  • Live interactive Q&A sessions
  • Shared experiences from experts engaging service learning in education around Europe
