4 Service Learning or Social Entrepreneurship? Integrating service learning into curriculum maximises success. Some universities manage service learning through a central unit, while others manage projects at the department level. Social Entrepreneurship is a concept of Business Schools, but most universities organise a range of community engagement projects that don’t fit the “social entrepreneurship” definition. These projects may have great value without being entrepreneurial.

5 Keys to success Local community partnerships are critical Local needs must be central to the project – it should be of value to the community Long term university commitment rather than ad hoc projects Student involvement should be meaningful – duration and roles. Local language skills are vital for managing international projects.
