About the Workshop

In addition to the significant economic impact Study Abroad has on local communities, it can also serve to form a meaningful connection with the community. Community Engagement and Service-Learning have become important components to many educational programmes in recent years, as they promote a deeper learning experience for students along with benefits to the communities in which they serve.

We will hear from three Study Abroad providers- Duquesne University, University of Notre Dame, and Champlain College- about the positive Community Engagment they have developed and the impact it has had thus far on their students and their communities. There will also be time after each presentation for questions and open discussion on what other types of engagement opportunities might be possible in Dublin and beyond.

This event will be hosted by Duquesne in Dublin and afterward we will make our way to The Merrion Inn for refreshments and further conversation. If you are unable to attend the workshop, you are still welcome to join us for the refreshments afterwards!
