A guide for Interdisciplinary Service Learning

Why in the UC?

In the UC, based on a series of internal assessments and of international peers, the atomization of our academic activity has been identified as a recurring weakness, with a fragmented structure that has made it difficult to promote spaces for interdisciplinary meetings. For this reason, in recent years, initiatives have been created such as the College program (which promotes multidisciplinary training), the new General Training Plan, the creation of interdisciplinary centers and programs and new disciplinary and interdisciplinary schools and institutes, such as the Institute for Sustainable Development and the future Institute of Applied Ethics (UC Development Plan 2020 - 2025). zzzz Considering these elements and the challenge to promote academic collaboration and collective creation, the UC Service-Learning Program began a reflection process to implement initiatives that promote interdisciplinary teaching with a focus on Service-Learning.
