Madrid and 12 universities sign an agreement to promote service learning

Representing the university, the Rector of Comillas, Antonio Allende SJ, stressed that the signing of the agreement reflects a demanding way of understanding the relationship between university and society. "This is not a mere administrative framework, but an alliance based on values, methodologies and social commitment. Service-learning is no longer a marginal experience but a structural element of higher education in Madrid," he said.

For his part, Martínez-Almeida stressed that the agreement combines two fundamental concepts: learning, as the backbone of education and society, and service, as a way of serving all citizens and guaranteeing social cohesion. According to the mayor, "this collaboration allows students to develop a vocation of commitment, applying their knowledge in real contexts and contributing to the well-being of the city".

This agreement reflects the commitment of Madrid and the universities to an education linked to the community, offering students training experiences that prepare them to face the professional and social challenges of the future.
