Community Service Learning is defined by Mount Royal University as “different from traditional volunteer work in that its focus is not only on providing a service but also on learning. The focus of CSL is different from co-ops, internships or practica, with an emphasis on providing concrete service to community agencies while developing student skills, self-awareness, professional capabilities, and sense of commitment to society.”
As part of the INTS 3331 course work, groups of students will complete a service learning project related to a specific theme / concept they collectively wish to explore. This project must meet the following criteria:
- be approved in advance (by March 2018) by the Faculty and the Ashram
- include members of the Sri Ram Ashram family in some way
- be interdisciplinary
- meet the field school’s working definition of “Service Learning”
- be produced into a public work (example: book, video, training program) that can be showcased
It is recommended that students form their working groups by September 30, 2017 as indicated in your MRU India Field School calendar.
Some possible topics include:
- Painting of the MRU-SRA mural
- Explorations of Spirituality
- Exploration of Dance
- Exploration of models of care
- Exploration of resiliency
- Weddings at the Ashram
- Babies at the Ashram
