LEARNING PROGRAMME: SERVICE UWCSEA believes in the transformative nature of the experience of serving others and in the responsibility we have to one another and the planet. Our Service learning programme fosters empathy and helps students to recognise that part of being human is seeking opportunities to put yourself aside in the service of others. While the context of each service interaction is different across our campuses, regardless of campus, grade, classroom or activity, all students are striving for learning in each of the three identified Service curriculum standards: 1. Awareness: by developing, skills and qualities, individuals can become determined global citizens who recognise their ability to enact positive change 2. Sustainable Development – Systems Thinking: individuals and groups can plan to engage effectively in the sustainable development of local and global communities 3. Taking Action – Being Changemakers: by taking informed, purposeful action, individuals and groups can act as changemakers, contributing to the sustainable development of local and global communities
