The 6th annual Global Service-Learning Institute will build upon established institute strengths in global service-learning pedagogy and program development, while also integrating more explicit attention to best practices in community-based planning, community development, and movement-building within global service-learning. Previous institutes have highlighted encouragement of institutional teams and the opportunity to workshop global service-learning programs during the institute, along with deep collaboration, communication with, and learning from like-minded peers. This year’s institute will provide participants with the opportunity to further develop their global service-learning programs – whether they are novice or advanced – and it will also employ structured consideration of the concept of Fair Trade Learning and its associated commitments to community partners and program transparency.
