Through projects for the local Hispanic community and local organizations related with the Hispanic communities abroad, the model integrates experiential components into the pedagogical approach. The model also considers sustainability by being sustainably conscious.\u00a0 From our classrooms<u>,<\/u> students work locally for the benefit of the communities here and abroad.\u00a0 In the wider scope of university\u2019s mandate, these community service projects are based on the UBC Community Learning Initiative definition that includes the following three key elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>classroom learning<\/li>\n<li>volunteer work that responds to community-identified priorities<\/li>\n<li>structured reflection activities that challenge students to make connections between what they are studying and their experiences in the community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The projects involve two-way direct interaction and co-teaching with clients and agencies that visit our classes to\u00a0provide between 2 to 4 hours of instructions to our students. Another important goal is to foster dialogue and collaboration between divisions at UBC, alumni,\u00a0colleagues and students in other courses in the FHIS department. Through the projects that we have established connections with the Department of Geography for concurrent projects and also with the Faculty of Law for checking legal accuracy for the 2014 project. The CBEL office supports and helps with logistics and funding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following is a list of our CSL Projects\u00a0from \u00a02011, as well as a summary of some of the projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Project 13 CCDA Informe becarios &#8211; Scholarships Report First Semester<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/spanishforcommunity\/files\/2016\/10\/CCDAScholarshipsGuatemala.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-661 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/spanishforcommunity\/files\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-10.53.44-AM-300x206.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/spanishforcommunity\/files\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-10.53.44-AM-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/spanishforcommunity\/files\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-10.53.44-AM.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project 11 \u2013 current 2016-2017:\u00a0Gifts from Our Lives: A Gift of Voice, Words, and Images<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The aim of the project is to empower seniors from Latin American background to create a legacy and an archive for future generations in both Spanish and English.
