The SPACE and ECEM projects came together on April 30, 2025 in a webinar for the community engaged teaching and learning practitioners. This workshop explored the intersection of service-learning and curriculum co-creation, emphasising collaborative learning between educators, students, and community partners. Participants engaged in short reflective exercises and interactive discussions to examine how co-creation promotes student agency, civic engagement, and reciprocal learning. Through concrete examples and experiences, strategies for designing service-learning experiences that are authentic, co-creative, and transformative were identified, and attendees gained practical insights and tools to integrate co-creative service-learning practices into their own curricula.

This session will introduce different partnership models, with a focus on how to tailor approaches to meet the needs of both academic institutions and communities. Ethical considerations and potential dilemmas will be critically discussed. The session will also highlight the resources required to sustain partnerships and provide strategies for overcoming common challenges.
