Abstract

Service learning in another country can bring great benefits, especially through longer term relationships. This chapter describes a long-term collaboration between Widener's social work faculty and a social work program at a Chinese university. The collaboration has led to the introduction of the concept of service-learning pedagogy to Chinese educators, as well as international service learning opportunities for social work graduate students.
