Recorded January 24, 2005
Below is the original description of the event.
Chile has undergone a series of transformations over the past 10 years as it has returned to democracy and experienced the effects of globalization and economic growth. As social responsibility has become more necessary, and consequently more ingrained in the culture, Chile has expanded its community volunteerism efforts. One outgrowth of this movement has been the advancement of the concept of service learning. Professor Zulueta will discuss how service learning structures can be created within Chile’s education system as well as the impact of volunteerism on Chilean society.
Sebastián Zulueta is director of the Service Learning Center at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile where he is also a professor in the Sociology Department. He holds graduate degrees in Business Administration and Sociology from the UC of Chile.
