Description
The Service Learning (SL) experiences of students in higher education institutions play a pivotal role in shaping future generations to be more inclusive and responsible. This chapter delves into the institutionalisation of SL, community partnerships, and specific departmental SL experiences, focusing on the initiatives at Christ University. At the core of these efforts is the Centre for Service Learning at Christ University, which actively monitors, recommends policies, and establishes frameworks for departments. The chapter introduces the ADORED model, elucidating the phases of SL at the institution: Assess, Develop, Organise, Reflect, Execute, and Demonstrate. This chapter describes SL practices in the School of Commerce, Education, and Psychology, offering tangible examples. By examining these specific cases, the chapter provides insights into the successful integration and sustainability of SL within a university setting. 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
