Join us for a regional gathering focused on advancing research in service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) on the 14th of May.

As part of a global initiative to strengthen the study and practice of SLCE across educational systems, the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE) has been hosting a series of input sessions. These sessions bring together practitioners, partners, researchers, and scholars to share their perspectives on the key questions and issues that should guide future research in the field. So far, 25 sessions have been held with over 500 participants from 34 countries.

We are excited to host the first of two input sessions for the Australia and New Zealand region on Wednesday, 14th of May from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM AEST. This session will focus on gathering data and identifying the research questions that should shape future studies in SLCE.

A second session will be held in June (date and time to be confirmed), where we’ll focus on the analysis of the collected data. You are welcome to join one or both sessions—your voice is valuable regardless of whether you participate in the first, the second, or both.

Insights gathered through these forums will contribute to a Global Research Agenda for SLCE, which will be shared at IARSLCE’s 25th Anniversary Conference in Durban, South Africa, this August. All participants who opt in will be acknowledged as contributors in the final report to be presented at the conference.

Join us in May and don’t miss this opportunity to help shape the future of research and practice in SLCE.
