This article enlightens about the application of the service-learning methodology in communities as an interdisciplinary strategy to strengthen the relationship between universities and the territory. The aim was the university students apply their academic knowledge carrying out community service activities. The interventions were related with the English language and values reinforcement for children and adolescents in rural communities like San Antonio of Ibarra and the ecclesiastical parish of Salinas in Imbabura province of Ecuador. With this project, university students worked on updating, learning and applying relevant innovative strategies in order to counteract the academic lag of children and adolescents in various areas of knowledge.
The methodology adopted included diagnostic techniques, the planning of innovative educational activities and assessment through participant observation and surveys. The results show a positive impact on university students, who improved transversal competencies such as teamwork, leadership and civic responsibility. At the same time, the local community trained a significant reinforcement in key educational areas. This project underlines the transformative potential of service-learning not only in the academic field, but also in the personal and social development of both students and communities. It was evident how these experiences in different real contexts allowed university students and professors to awaken the sense of social responsibility, awareness, and above all a sense of commitment to the common good, through the application of the service-learning methodology.
