Community Service Learning Projects

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 ) 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 in fall, 2019.
  

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
