How can volunteering in universities be institutionalised, how can community service practices be integrated into academic models, and how do these processes contribute to students’ social responsibility development? 

This webinar offers a comprehensive perspective for everyone who wants to make volunteering in higher education more systematic, measurable, and sustainable.

Dr. Oğuz Yavuzyılmaz, faculty member at Kocaeli University, will discuss how volunteering can be structurally integrated into university systems through credit-bearing courses, compulsory practice components, student clubs, and research-based projects. The session will also examine academic matching models, monitoring and evaluation approaches, and volunteering-based good practices in university-community cooperation through a range of examples.

This event serves as a valuable guide for university administrators, academics, instructors of community service courses, student club advisors, and all stakeholders who want to bring volunteering into a stronger academic framework. Apply now to reserve your place.

The webinar will be held via the ILA Talks mobile application as part of the International Year of Volunteers activities. The event is free of charge, and participants will receive Turkish-English certificates of participation at the end of the session.
