Abstract

The idea that universities should be flagship institutions requiring a strong commitment to their social setting is a position about which people there is increasing awareness. Therefore, it is vitally important to reflect on strategies and methodologies for strengthening the role of the university in relation to social factors, depending on the specific context. Service-learning is probably one of the most suitable methodologies for achieving these objectives, and the book De la teoría a la práctica en el compromiso cívico, edited by Juan Luis Fuentes, provides an exhaustive analysis of this strategy and its possible applications in the social sphere.
