The consortium, bringing together universities and social entities from Spain, Ireland, and Italy, utilized the Service-Learning (ApS) methodology to foster mutual learning, enhance civic competencies, and break down social stereotypes, aiming to build a cohesive European identity.
The initiative developed five work packages, including specialized training, an open-access MOOC in three languages, 12 collaborative ApS projects addressing inclusion needs, and the creation of key resources like a Guide to good practices and an impact analysis report. The project also contributed to Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5, 10, 16, and 17.
This marks the fifth Erasmus+ project coordinated by USC since 2014 to receive this honorary recognition, awarded after evaluating the final report and project implementation, distinguishing initiatives with exceptional quality, innovation, and impact.
To receive this distinction, projects must meet criteria such as achieving a high score in technical evaluation, demonstrating excellent management, creating transferable and replicable methodologies, showing positive changes in the organization and community, and executing effective dissemination of results.
