Last Friday at the Town Hall of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) the celebrations of the 14th Service-Learning Conference took place, where, as in previous years, various entities from the educational and community sectors came together to highlight the Passion, desire and commitment build together. As in previous years, Educo participated in the AS Awards Ceremony. Two awards were presented this time: the Development Cooperation Award and the Participation Award, which were awarded to the Vedruna Villafranca School (Barcelona) and the Santiao Aóstol School (Valencia) respectively. We remind you that service-learning is an educational approach that combines learning, curriculum or competency processes with service to the community through projects. Therefore, not only does it benefit the experience and experience of participating students, but their actions have a direct proportional effect on improving the quality of life in the community. That is, it is a process in which all actors openly benefit: children and adolescents integrate knowledge through practices of solidarity, which also generate significant incentives, and their actions generate profits for the community that enjoys the services generated by childhood. As if all this wasn’t enough, we remember that, according to an Educo report from last year, which analyzed AS projects and interviewed nearly 100 children and youth from several communities, service-learning can also help prevent abuse of children. violent behavior. Ilar Orenes, general manager of Educo, explained it at the time: "AS is an educational path that teaches how to cooperate and transform the environment. Trying to create forms of contact that coexist and exclude violence. This is the key." Two very inspiring project awards develop cooperation The award was awarded by Educo to the Vedruna School (Villafranca) for the project "er un món més ust, fem labdoo".

Students, as well as other nearby entities, were protagonists in this project, the result of which was a dramatic transformation of an abandoned piece of land into a gathering place that felt like its own.
The Universalizing Excellence and Cultivating Compassion award ceremony featured a distinguished speaker, philosopher and professor at the University of Valencia, Adela Cortina. Adela often revisits old ideas and places them in the present, introducing what service-learning education is by emphasizing the need to universalize excellence and compassion in education. For Cortina, excellence must come from a misunderstood neoliberal conception, in which excellence is a supremacist belief that the rest of the world must be disadvantaged. Excellence is very different to her: “I talk about excellence, and I also promote it as a concept in the Greek world from the Iliad, which means ‘virtue.’ In Greek, areté, means excellence. The player is outstanding. "He has a certain above-average quality, but he doesn't keep it to himself. “The excellence of each person is what allows the community to survive because everyone strives to bring out the best in themselves and serve the community. “I think that’s what service learning does,” Adela said. “In The Iliad , when people remember Patroclus or Achilles, they do so with emotion, but not just because they were heroes, but because they helped their communities survive. "This is an excellent idea that must be popularized," he assured. Cortina believes that democracy is not built by mediocrity or negligent people, people who let their abilities rot, but people who strive to bring out the best in their abilities. . But its value becomes apparent when excellence is tied to compassion. “To be great, you have to cultivate compassion,” he points out.
