Abstract

Service-learning is an educational proposal where students apply what they learn in the classroom at the service of community, and in this way transform the reality, and learn things that can not be found in books. An educational proposal made together with the school, teachers and students, and an entity in the environment. It is a collaborative work from the first moment, when the project is drawn up, when is carried out and when is evaluated. In Catalonia, and internationally, there are already many service learning experiences in different fields.
