This book provides an in-depth, multi-faceted look into capacity building for service-learning, using the case of the higher education landscape in Hong Kong. Service-learning has been proven to be an effective pedagogy for the holistic development of students, as well as promoting their well-being. It also attempts to promote the well-being of the service recipients and the community, collectively. While service-learning is becoming increasingly popular in many higher educational institutions around the world, the learning gains that can be attained from service-learning are only as good as the learning experience allows, and poorly-developed or motivated service-learning may potentially do adverse harm to students and the community. This book reinforces the imperative to enhance the capacity of the institution, teachers and community partners by exploring a diverse range of methods for achieving capacity building among different stakeholders. Examples of the methods explored includeformal course-based professional development, scale development, action research, and community of practices. Furthermore, the book includes a series of detailed, qualitative case studies that are aimed at embodying good practice, unpacking what matters from service-learning. A useful resource for scholars and educators who are passionate about holistic youth leadership development, it is also relevant to researchers in the intersection between well-being and higher education.
