Since April 2016 CLAYSS has been supporting partners in different countries in Central and Eastern Europe through training, facilitation, joint development of research and bibliography specific to the region as well as technical assistance to promote service-learning at a regional level. Since these activities began, partners involved have been meeting online and onsite to promote exchange, mutual understanding and mutual learning, understanding that cooperation among key actors provides support and makes service-learning in the region stronger. The Central and Eastern European Service-Learning Network has developed Regional Service-Learning Weeks in different cities around the region and a Regional Service-Learning Award.
