Synopsis

Service-learning is a form of experiential education that combines academic study with community service. Learning occurs as students work with others through applying their academic knowledge to community needs and at the same time, reflecting on their experience and the realworld relevance of their skills. This book describes the development of service-learning in Asia around three themes: servicelearning and indigenous traditions; service-learning and social justice education; and service-learning and multicultural education.
