<< Background >>This project is aimed to promote innovative practices for education in common values in primary schools based on the Service Learning (SL) methodology. Consequently the project contributes to supporting active citizenship and ethics in lifelong learning to foster the development of social and intercultural competences and offer opportunities for people’s participation in social and civic engagement through formal or non-formal learning activities, and also contributes to raising awareness on and understanding of the common EU values, the principles of unity and diversity.We live in times of profound political and social changes where the founding values of the European project are being questioned. Certain basic consensuses are blowing up, causing, among other things, hate speech to be presented as a legitimate moral option. To tackle this new problem, “Learning2Serve” endorses SL methodology as an appropriate one for school teaching.<< Objectives >>Students of the leading schools acquire relevant cognitive and non-cognitive competences and develop a more positive attitude toward common values.Teachers and community educators at local and national level are more aware about the challenges of education to common values.The whole school community and the volunteering NGOs and associations who provide the services in the SL projects are more involved with SL methodology.<< Implementation >>Leading schools in each territory of intervention will deliver innovative SL initiatives on topic related to common values. They will also promote initiatives for exchange and transfer of good practices concerning this innovative method.In order to involve the whole school community and the volunteering NGOs and associations who provide the services in the SL projects, these entities, parents and other community stakeholders will cooperate with and support pilot teachers in implementing innovative SL initiatives on common values. Next step within the project will be make other teachers and community educators at local and national level aware about the challenges of education to common values. The most motivated ones will reinforce their competences in view of including innovative education to common values in their teaching and community building activities.The immediate expected impact of the project is to position the SL as a leader methodology in the teaching of common values and to become the European benchmark for SL methodology in primary schools.We strongly believe that the SL methodology contributes to strengthening common values, participation and civic engagement, therefore, in a long term the exchange of European experiences and the roadmap for the creation of the network will contribute to the increase of youths upport for common European values.Breza, Progetto Mondo and Madre Coraje will implement the project activities in their countries by, for example, organising local training for partners and associate partners’ teachers and keeping track of their didactic proposals and activities. These entities have a consolidated experience of fieldwork with schools and education on common and civic values. All of them will also organise meetings and events with relevant education bodies and social sectors at local, national and European level.<< Results >>Throughout the project the following results will be produced to achieve the results:- Didactic manual for innovative education to common values based on SL methodology- Toolkit to foster cooperation in education to values through SL approach between schools, volunteering associations and NGOs, parents and other community stakeholders, including tools for Service-Learning practices.- Knowledge, learning and networking web platform about education to common values At least 750 students and 75 teachers from Croatia, Italy and Spain will participate in the Project. The school entities participating in the project as partners and associate partners have been working from the SL approach for some time or are starting to do so. This project complements the work these schools are doing around SL methodology because participating in “Learning to Serve” will allow them improving their knowledge of this methodology and learning about the proposals of other local and Europeanschools.
