UNISERVITATE is the programme for the promotion of service-learning in Catholic Higher Education.

Its objective is to generate a systemic change in Catholic Higher Education Institutions (CHEIs) through the institutionalization of service-learning as a tool to achieve its mission of offering an integral education to the new generations and involving them in an active commitment to the challenges of our time.

The most recent Vatican documents on the mission and identity of the CHEIs call for the connection between science and faith, academic excellence and community service, knowledge production and Christian witness in society, of a socially committed university.

In recent years, Pope Francis has strongly emphasized the need for the Church to “go out to the peripheries” and has called on educational institutions to offer their students the opportunity to involve “heads, hands and hearts” in addressing the challenges and problems presented by contemporary societies.
