Reconceptualizing Sustainable Intercultural Partnerships in Arts-Based Service Learning

  • Chapter
Engaging First Peoples in Arts-Based Service Learning

Part of the book series: Landscapes: the Arts, Aesthetics, and Education ((LAAE,volume 18))

Abstract

In this concluding chapter we argue that deep concepts of sustainability have the potential to reconceptualize service learning in higher education. These deep concepts include establishing relationships, sustaining those relationships, sustaining workers outside the university and sustaining transformation and radical hope within students and community members. In this chapter we suggest their successful adoption, however, requires a reconceptualization of sustainability in service learning.
