Students of the leading schools acquire relevant cognitive and non-cognitive competences and develop a more positive attitude toward common values. Teachers and community educators at local and national level are more aware about the challenges of education to common values. The whole school community and the volunteering NGOs and associations who provide the services in the SL projects are more involved with SL methodology.
This project is aimed to promote innovative practices for education in common values in primary schools based on the Service Learning (SL) methodology. Consequently the project contributes to supporting active citizenship and ethics in lifelong learning to foster the development of social and intercultural competences and offer opportunities for people’s participation in social and civic engagement through formal or non-formal learning activities, and also contributes to raising awareness on and understanding of the common EU values, the principles of unity and diversity. We live in times of profound political and social changes where the founding values of the European project are being questioned. Certain basic consensuses are blowing up, causing, among other things, hate speech to be presented as a legitimate moral option. To tackle this new problem, “Learning2Serve” endorses SL methodology as an appropriate one for school teaching
