The ESCULCA Research Group is pleased to invite you to the “5th International Symposium on Service-Learning and Higher Education,” which, in this edition, focuses on “Reciprocity as the Core of the University–Community Relationship.” The symposium will take place at the Faculty of Education Sciences (Campus Vida), at the University of Santiago de Compostela, on June 25, 2026. Visit the website to consult the provisional programme, as well as the guidelines for poster submissions.

The Community Research Data Toolkit introduces communities and the organizations and researchers who collaborate with them to concepts of research data management—such as data management plans and data deposit—to support their work. It is also a collection of guidance documents we made together with templates and examples for data management plans; roles and responsibilities for researchers, community members, and data professionals; and options for where data lives in the long term.

UNESCO has officially published “Education in Colours” (Educación en Colores)” on UNESDOC. At a glance, it offers a practical framework for organizing transformative education (purposes, content, pedagogies, assessment) through the “colours,” including an implementation route by phases using Community Service-Learning as a vehicle, plus evidence and examples from the region.

The University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment (IonE) is recruiting its next cohort for the IonE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. PhD or PhD candidates who are interested in interdisciplinary academic research and community-engaged scholarship, with a focus on solutions-oriented research in sustainability, are invited to apply by April 29.
