Educational policies of the Barcelona Education Consortium in relation to service-learning as a social innovation

Abstract

Throughout the brief history of the Barcelona Education Consortium, service-learning has always been present among the innovative programmes taught in the city's educational centres. Over the past two years, and with the aim to promote educational transformation, the profile of the professionals at the Pedagogical Resource Centres has been rethought; collaboration links with different municipal organisms and interested parties have been strengthened, and a unified call for programmes has been made.
