Service Learning in International
Schools: A World of Possibilities FAQs
about Service Learning in International
Schools. Case Studies from International
Schools in 13 different countries. Resources
from 16 organizations with
international reach. And more! From
the author Cathryn Berger Kaye:
"This DVD
project grew from the idea of building on priorities already present within
international schools. Service learning affords practical means to make
sustainable advancements, using research-based approaches already being
applied successfully within international school settings.
While many international students may travel the
world, we want them to know the world with open eyes, with the understanding and
means to interact with communities in ways that are mutually respectful and
beneficial. Our children already
care. Now, with service learning, we connect caring of the heart with the
learning of the mind. We enable them to be active citizens now."
