During the 24/25 academic year, the following projects have continued to be carried out in the framework of the SL(M) Project:

PEINAS: Intercultural Pedagogy and Service-Learning
EXCORAS: experiential learning through movement in Early Childhood Education
Defending Those Who Defend: Women Human Rights Defenders
Transform Your Education

On Thursday, 5 June, a group interview was held with asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection, assisted by ACCEM, who had participated in various service-learning projects. The activity formed part of the monitoring and evaluation process for these projects, aiming to gain first-hand insight into their impact on the participants’ personal and academic journeys. The interview also sought suggestions for improving future initiatives.

Afterwards, participants took part in a guided tour of several facilities at the University of Santiago de Compostela, including the Creative Hub at the Faculty of Education Sciences (North Campus) and the Pazo de Fonseca.

Since June 2nd, the Faculty of Education Sciences (Life Campus) at the University of Santiago de Compostela has displayed a banner on its façade announcing the Congress on Migration and Refuge in Europe.

On 7 May 2025, a focus group was held with the leaders of social organisations that had participated in SL(M) projects at the University of Santiago de Compostela.

The objective was to understand the impact that these various SL(M) projects have had on third-sector organisations.

The deadlines for submitting posters and oral presentations for the Conference have been extended until May 30.

If you are planning to present your work, we encourage you to take advantage of this extension and finalize your proposals accordingly.

Full details on the revised deadlines and submission guidelines are available on the official Conference website.
