Abstract
This paper explores the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into service-learning for fostering global citizenship and addressing societal challenges. Beginning with an overview of the complex issues facing society in the 21st century, this paper emphasizes the importance of engaging students in critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration related to service-learning to mitigate societal challenges. The authors explore service-learning projects of university students enrolled in an Education and Social Justice course, advocating for promoting students' essential skills, academic literacies, collaborative abilities, and global citizenship aligning with academic standards and the 17 SDG’s outlined by the United Nations.
