About Sr Len's Keynote:

​Service Learning? How about calling it Learning Service? It is an experience of service but it is mostly learning for the students. Putting the emphasis on learning, rather on service, provides a different stance for the students and the receiving communities.  Putting emphasis on the role of the students as learner rather than providers of service, and of the communities as the 'educators' rather than the receivers of service, offers a look on the power dynamics at play in service/charity/justice/development work, especially between citizens of developing and developed nations.
