Recognition mechanism por professors who implement the methodology.

Professors who implement SL only obtain recognition through their own actions, mainly associated with the dissemination of the experiences or results obtained in their courses, which helps them to be socially recognized by the community.

Defining the profile of the community partner.

The search for partners was carried out according to the emerging needs of the courses, so that a functional relationship has been established with no projection in time.

Reciprocal and lasting relationship between partners and the Academic Unit.

Training and consciousness-raising of community partners in their training role

The partners have a superficial knowledge of the methodology, which may enhance or even jeopardize the implementation, depending on the case.
