TRANSFORMING SERVICE-LEARNING CONFERENCE 2020

​GUIDELINES for Break-out Session Applicants
​

BACKGROUND:
When we speak of Service-Learning, diverse experiences and understanding often inform the conversation. As an ecumenical professional learning community, we value a Christian understanding of the human being and of service. We are also committed to ongoing enrichment of our understanding of the nature and possibilities of Service-Learning theory and practice.

In this context we understand Transformative Service Learning as pursuing:
  • Opportunities for the transformation of the individual and those who they look to serve in a way that deepens humanity, increases compassion and challenges injustice
  • Two intentional, inseparable elements, Service and Learning (Hyphenation of this phrase emphasises this).
  • Service Learning as core educational business with explicit curriculum links.
  • Engagement with people and planet, locally, nationally, and internationally.
  • Intentional phases of preparation, experience and reflection.
  • Community partnerships which are planned, reciprocal, sustainable and authentic.
  • Best Practice – considering safety, ethics, justice, legalities, reciprocity, & solidarity.
  • Holistic approaches which engage the Head, Heart and Hands
 
AN INVITATION TO SHARE YOUR BEST TRANSFORMATIONAL SERVICE-LEARNING PRACTICE:
We invite you to submit a proposal of your innovative Service-Learning practice to present at least one of two x 1 ½ HOUR break-out sessions at our upcoming 2020 Transforming Service-Learning Conference 16-18th April at St. Joseph’s Gregory Terrace, Brisbane.

Your innovation must have the potential to be adapted or adopted in a variety of settings. Therefore, your session MUST include WORKSHOP TIME to allow attendees opportunities to question, discuss and explore key aspects of your innovative practice in relation to their own context.
 
We will be looking for experiences that share a strong people and/or planet connection and workshop topics that have applicability across the K-12 sector. Preference will be given to collaborative presentations where multiple voices/perspectives are shared.
