Clayss, based in Argentina, has built networks and alliances with educational institutions world-wide.<\/em>  A twenty years journey in the field of education is not a short one at all. CLAYSS, the Latin American Centre for service-learning started in Buenos Aires in 2002. It started as &#8216;a crazy dream&#8217; in \u00a0the midst of an economic and social crisis, and it has extended its activities not only to other Latin American countries but also to countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. This wide network, built together with various educational institutions, involves all age groups, from kindergarten to university.  CLAYSS is marking its first twenty years of life \u00a0by 20 conferences organized in 20 different cities. We met Nieves Tapia, its founder and director, at the LUMSA University in Rome..  Professor Tapia explained: &#8220;Service-learning combines theory and practice. It gives \u00a0both children and young university students \u00a0the opportunity to learn by applying classroom learning while being of service \u00a0to others\u201d..  An International Service-Learning Conference will be held in Buenos Aires at the end of August, and\u00a0 preparations are being made for another conference, scheduled to take place in Rome in October. About a hundred Catholic universties are expected to participate.  In fact, Nieves Tapia explained\u00a0 that, &#8220;<em>Uniservitate<\/em> is a global programme that \u00a0promotes service-learning \u00a0in Catholic higher education&#8221;. \u00a0And she added:: \u00a0&#8220;Its objective is to generate a systemic change through the institutionalisation of service-learning \u00a0as a tool that enables higher education institutions\u00a0 achieve their mission of \u00a0offering an integral education to the new generations and\u00a0 involving \u00a0them in an active commitment to the challenges of our \u00a0time&#8221;..  <em>Uniservitate&#8217;<\/em>s global network is present in 26 countries in the 5 continents through partnerships with more than 30 universities and educational institutions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em style=\"text-align: right;\">Carlos Mana<\/em><\/p>\n<p> Our interview.
