The aim of this course is to familiarize the pre-service teachers with problems, especially related to education, that exist in the society around them. To this end, the students are immersed in real-life situations, where they are expected to increase their awareness of the existing problems and contribute to developing possible solutions to those problems through voluntary work.

Throughout the semester, each student is required to spend 28 hours volunteering in a participating organization.

In addition, students must attend weekly class meetings lead by the course instructor and visiting lecturers.
