The promotion of social justice: Service learning for transformative education

The paper presents the scenario and ontological reasoning behind three social justice projects developed by the authors. It is followed up by an exploration of service learning as a tool to be used to disrupt the traditional in-class learning approach. Service learning is connected to transformative education as a framework to enhance the reflections regarding the three activities. The paper concludes by presenting a model signifying our counternormative pedagogical approach. The linkage between service learning and transformative education aims to co-engage educators with our students and co-enhance our view of social justice within our communities.
