Description

The Service Learning subject (ApS) is one of the 4 ECTS subjects that make up the optional offer of the Degree in Nursing.

The educational proposal of the ApS combines curricular learning processes and service to the community to respond to a real need of a vulnerable group. The main objectives of this subject are: convey academic knowledge with an intervention that responds to a real need and has social utility, participate in the training of citizens and future nursing professionals from reflective practice and ethics and finally, show to future Nursing professionals areas of professional action often little known.

The Nursing profession is represented in the fight for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), challenges framed in the so-called Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, and which aim to "ensure a sustainable, peaceful, prosperous and equitable life around the world for everyone, now and in the future". For this reason, in this subject these objectives will be worked on transversally and from a nursing perspective, using a participatory and innovative methodology such as ApS. The approach and contact between the students and a vulnerable group in our context, often invisible by society, will involve reflection and intervention to provide a solution to some of the health needs detected in a collaborative and participatory way between different actors in our society.

Three institutions will participate in this subject to respond to the educational and health needs of the community: the Degree in Nursing of TecnoCampus (students and teaching), the Mataró City Council and a social entity as a representative of the community. The involvement of the three institutions will mean collaborative work, in which the future nurse will be represented as an essential part of the process.
