service-learning

[spain]

Service-learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs.
Service-learning involves students in service projects to apply classroom learning for local agencies that exist to effect positive change in the community, in our project well focus on developing emotional learning and inclusion with kids from three to six.

In this module, students will have the chance to improve their professional skills, by designing an intervention project which will be implemented in an actual school, with real students and teachers. They will learn how to assess the needs in an educational institution, and how to use their professional tools to improve the situation.

Students will work with concepts related to emotional intelligence – how to read and express emotions, feelings and sensations. This is an important tool for developing their future jobs educating children.

Special educational needs will also be considered in this learning module, providing students the unique experience of meeting and improving their skills to face every situation they can find in their professional career.

To achieve the goals of our module, students will attend classes to set the main objectives of the project that they are going to develop. They will set the goals and the methods to achieve them, cooperating and providing their cultural tools and personal point of view.
On a second step, they will apply the project in a real school, giving them the chance to coordinate and lead a pre-primary school class, organizing different games and activities related to emotional intelligence.

Seville is well-known worldwide because of its street life. There are plenty of things to do after classes, lots of places to visit and a wide offer of cultural experiences waiting for being discovered by the students.

Our vocational training is set in a school, where there are also pre-primary, primary and secondary classes. Students of EYE have the chance to practice their professional skills since the first day, with actual children, and monitorized by real professionals.

Within the two weeks module, there will be a cultural event which is once-a-year. It is a local tradition which involves music, dancing, coloured-paper-flowers, and spending time in the nature. It is an opportunity to experience something way too far from whatever you have ever seen!
