On August 1, 2023, the "Learning through Community Service (CSL)" agreement was signed between the University of Ottawa and the Mexican Embassy in Canada. This partnership allows Ottawa University students to participate in volunteer activities and projects at the Mexican Embassy under the experiential learning model, providing training programs and opportunities for volunteering in specific activities. The agreement reflects both institutions' commitment to promoting comprehensive education for future generations and enhancing community well-being.
Since the Community Service Learning (CSL) agreement began with the University of Ottawa, over 70 students from diverse majors and nationalities have contributed, including those studying Law, International Relations, Communication, and Psychology. They have been involved in various departments at the Embassy, such as Culture, Tourism, Education, Economy, and Political Affairs.
Their time at the Mexican Embassy has provided valuable learning experiences, significantly impacting the Embassy’s operations. The Embassy recognizes youth's critical role in today's social and labour contexts and remains dedicated to offering inclusive spaces for connection.
Students have been involved in a wide range of unique projects, including preparing innovation and linkage events, assisting in artistic activities, and conducting political and treaty analyses. These tasks offer a continuous learning environment where students gain insight into the dynamics and values of diplomacy, leading to a highly enriching experience.
The Embassy looks forward to welcoming more students in future semesters and ensuring that their experiences significantly contribute to their academic and professional growth. We invite you to enjoy some of their final products.
