Critical Service Learning Project at Roshni Nilaya

Mangalore: Students from the school of social work, Roshni Nilaya,are leading the way in a critical service learning project.

Mangalore born, Dr. Gonsalves, Fulbright Specialist from the United States, has initiated a critical service learning project with students at one of Mangalore’s premier educational institutions.

This critical service learning project uses a unique approach to inform, engage, and transform communities.

Students from the School of Social Work, RoshniNilaya, will take the stage and use creative expression to spread awareness about the project in the Mangalore area.  A videotape of this event will be shared with a global audience.

It is the hope of all that this CPR project, which is seeded in Mangalore, will be replicated in universities across India and around the world.

At a time when the newspapers are filled with accounts of division, violence, and discord, it will be important for the public to hear about the work of a small group of students who are attempting to use Creative Peaceful Resistance (CPR) to resuscitate justice, restore hope, and revive the spirit.

Creative Presentation by Students, Unveiling of the Mural, and Opening of the Reflection Park on  April 20, from 2:00 to 3:00 P.M. at the Auditorium, RoshniNilaya School of Social Work, Father Muller’s Road, Valencia, Mangalore.
