through professional practice that is combined with supervision and the process of establishing a community of leaders and life-long learners. Service-learning opportunities may develop leadership characteristics and skills that contribute towards transformation, raising awareness and values of accountability and responsibility.
Students in applied fields need to gain skills that enable them to work in professional teams. They can both contribute and learn from the community and their peers. The CLEVER programme aims to provide a general framework that can be useful to different applied fields. To achieve this aim, we propose a project methodology, which is centered on the student as an active investigator who learns through group work, problem-solving, reflective analysis connected to concrete problem-based challenges in the field. Through the above processes, students develop high- order, critical thinking and future thinking skills. Self-peer learning and teamwork will contribute to their personal and professional development and motivation to be life- long-learners.
