Purpose

Sharing and mutual support for service learning offices from different Institutes of Higher Learning

Peer exchange, learning and collaboration among partners

Collectively understanding information and resources useful for service learning practitioners 

Background and Rationale

Felt that service learning was inward looking within own institutions and realised there is opportunity for collaboration

Specific Objectives and Goals

  1. Create a clearinghouse of service learning resources
  2. Articulate and develop principles / code / guide for good practice
Other objectives previously raised, for discussion:
  • capacity building for service learning practitioners
  • project on history and landscape of service learning in Singapore?
  • explore student collaborations across institutions
  • Role that government can play in service learning (e.g. a national agenda) and the kinds of resources that can be brought in if there is. Currently, MOE, MCCY and MSF are the three key Ministries most relevant to the field of service learning. (suggested from TP)

How Will Meetings be Run

  • Participants will submit agenda items, and rotating Facilitators will host as well as help structure each meeting based on the agenda.
  • Issues selected for discussion will be spread out over 4 main meetings (one per quarter?).
