Abstract

Service learning is a methodology that links the school with their environment, the community. The different experiences and projects carried out highlight its applicability to all levels of education (from childhood education to adult education) and at all levels of education (both formal and non formal). This article presents the experience of two projects at the childhood education in relation with the level of satisfaction of the participants in the project.
