Introduction

Thank you for joining Knowledge Alliance Rural 3.0: Service Learning for the Rural development (https://rural.ffzg.unizg.hr/). This Erasmus+ project aims to set a framework for an integrated transnational approach of academic teaching that contributes to the development of rural areas, meeting their needs, boosting innovation in these areas and creating community-university partnerships.

To create the community-university partnerships it is our aim to develop a database where community groups and higher education institutions can find each other to collaborate on Service Learning and/or Social Entrepreneurship.

The following questions will serve as a way to fill the community side of the database, this way higher education institutions can contact you for potential collaboration. Your response will be recorded in the public database.

Service Learning combines social commitment ("service") with the development of students' professional, methodological and social competences as well as technical and interdisciplinary skills ("learning").

All participants will be granted a free access to training programs and open educational resources on rural SL and rural SE, MOOC and other digital collaborative & learning tools (Hub, Online World Café).
