Riflessione critica nella pratica del Service-Learning: generare consapevolezza per la cura di sé

The present contribution aims to analyse the experience of 150 students enrolled in the first year of the Degree Course in Primary Education Sciences (a.y. 2022-23), at the University of Palermo. The students who partecipated in the Service-Learning Project PR[A.S.S.I.] "Apprendere Serve, Servire Insegna", valorised the monitoring tool of narrative training: the logbook. The research focuses specifically on this form of experiential learning based on self-recognition, care, and the valorisation of experience as the ordering criterion of personal flourishing. It aims to identify good practices in front of social engagement, to analyse the development of experiences and to promote a self-care and self-directed attitude. This is because written reflection constitutes the main pivot for transforming meanings, re- examining, and consolidating them into learning, self- and group knowledge, and at the same time awareness of one's role as an active citizen.
