We are pleased to announce that Griffith University will host a SERVICE-LEARNING SUMMIT from 13-15 November, 2019 at its Gold Coast campus. We have secured an excellent Keynote speaker and workshop presenter, Dr Richard Kiely. See brief information on his expertise below.
The Summit will explore a range of topics within SL and have a refreshing and innovative format that will ensure you gain maximum benefit from attending whether you are new to the concept of SL, or are looking for more of a masterclass experience. We will provide details of cost shortly. In line with the nature of SL, we are planning to use social enterprises for catering and keep the cost for participants as low as possible.
To be sure you secure a place at the Summit, please lodge your interest here:
Introducing Dr Richard Kiely
Dr Richard Kiely currently serves as a senior fellow in the Office of Engagement Initiatives (OEI) in Cornell University’s Office of Engagement Initiatives.
In 2005, he was recognized nationally as a John Glenn Scholar in Service-Learning for his longitudinal research that led to the development of a transformative service-learning model (See Kiely, 2004, 2005, 2011). He served as the co-editor of the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning for two special sections on global service-learning (2014/2015) and recently completed a co-authored book Community-Based Global Learning: The Theory and Practice of Ethical Engagement at Home and Abroad (2018).
He is the co-founder of a community-driven global service-learning (GSL) partnership in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, which will be entering its 25th year in 2019 and co-founder of globalsl.org, a multi-institutional hub supporting ethical global learning and community-campus partnerships.
