Summary<\/p>\n
Project carried out with 3rd-year secondary school students at IES Cardenal Cisneros in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares. In biology class, they learn about the characteristics and functions of blood, how the public blood donation system works, and the need to increase the number of blood donors; in mathematics, they learn statistics by compiling statistics on donations in Alcal\u00e1 over the last three years; in language, they learn to draft a press release and speak in public; in other subjects, they learn to produce outreach materials such as posters, videos, PowerPoint presentations on the importance of donating blood…. <\/p>\n
The community service consists of promoting the blood donation marathon, which takes place in spring at the Pr\u00edncipe de Asturias Hospital in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares (HUPA). To do so, they run an awareness campaign among the residents of Alcal\u00e1, sharing all the outreach materials they have produced through radio, the press, social media, poster campaigns, and awareness talks for firefighters, police officers, neighbourhood associations, adult education schools, the Official School of Languages, and the University of Alcal\u00e1. <\/p>\n
As well as encouraging and energising the day of the blood donation marathon at HUPA.<\/p>\n

Self-assessment section<\/p>\n
PLANNING What objectives were set in the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n Develop students\u2019 basic competencies by activating the exercise of all curriculum competencies, with an emphasis on social and civic competence, as well as personal initiative and autonomy.<\/p>\n Promote prosocial values and attitudes, encouraging effort, responsibility and solidarity commitment.<\/p>\n Strengthen psychosocial skills and the ability to participate positively in social life.<\/p>\n IMPACT What are the positive impacts of the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n In the marathons held before they were promoted by students from educational centres, the average number of donors per day was 50 people. Since we have been promoting the marathon through Service-Learning projects, we have surpassed the historic record for donations in the public hospitals of the Community of Madrid: 310 people. <\/p>\n INNOVATION What are the most novel aspects? What challenge\/problem is addressed? <\/strong><\/p>\n These projects improve people\u2019s living conditions, strengthen members\u2019 sense of belonging to the community, and encourage citizen participation. METHODOLOGY What methodology was followed to implement it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Learning within common curriculum subjects and linking learning to social action.<\/p>\n CONDITIONING FACTORS What conditions need to be in place for the project to be successfully replicated (in a similar context)?<\/strong><\/p>\n Involvement of the entire educational community. Management and coordination with the local administration. <\/p>\n REPLICATE\/SCALE\/TRANSFER What elements should be considered to replicate the project in another Local Entity? What resources are needed? <\/strong><\/p>\n It is necessary to coordinate with the reference hospital, the local administration and an educational centre willing to carry out the project. In most cases, these projects involve a symbolic financial cost. <\/p>\n STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT Which local stakeholders have been involved in the project (citizens, third-sector organisations, private sector, academia, etc.)? How was this involvement achieved? <\/strong><\/p>\n The following have been involved: IES Cardenal Cisneros in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Pr\u00edncipe de Asturias University Hospital, the Community of Madrid Transfusion Centre, Barab\u00fa Payasos, neighbourhood associations, police officers, the University of Alcal\u00e1, firefighters, adult education schools, the Official School of Languages, and the City Council Press Office. All this networking work has been promoted and organised by the Volunteer Pool of the Alcal\u00e1 de Henares City Council. <\/p>\n INTERNAL COORDINATION How was the project coordinated internally within the Local Entity?<\/strong><\/p>\n This project was approved by the school\u2019s governing council, and all internal coordination took place between the teaching staff and the City Council of Alcal\u00e1\u2019s volunteer pool; this is how the project was designed.<\/p>\n PARTNERSHIPS Were other institutions involved in achieving the set objectives?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, all those mentioned above.<\/p>\n RESULTS\/MEASUREMENT Have the project results been measured based on local indicators?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, I have also described it above. Thanks to this educational project, we went from 50 donors at the blood donation marathon to breaking the historic record in Madrid\u2019s public hospitals: 310 donations. <\/p>\n RELEVANCE What is the suitability of the objectives and results? Is there coherence between the objectives set and the results obtained? <\/strong><\/p>\n Completely.<\/p>\n TRIPLE IMPACT: Is the project sustainable from an environmental, economic and social point of view?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fully sustainable. There is no environmental impact that harms the environment, it has a very low financial cost, and it delivers significant social benefits. <\/p>\n OBSTACLES: What were the main obstacles encountered in all phases of the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n Perhaps linking learning to curriculum subjects and organising the students\u2019 working committees.<\/p>\n CONCLUSION. Project impact and usefulness. <\/strong><\/p>\n I believe that, by reading all the previous questions, the social impact of Service-Learning projects is clear. The impact achieved with this project is fully tangible and visible. Information section<\/p>\n FURTHER INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n Volunteer Pool Alcal\u00e1 de Henares – YouTube.

\nIn this specific project, the need was to increase blood reserves in the HUPA blood bank.<\/p>\n
\nIt should be noted that Service-Learning projects can be carried out on different themes: environmental, cultural, social inclusion, healthy habits, historical heritage. So far, all the experiences carried out have had a very visible impact in the city. <\/p>\n
