It presents the details of 16 SL projects, ranging from 3 to 6 ECTS credits, which are included in the educational offer of the UNICORN partner universities and that are open to students coming from any HEI, as long as there is a mobility agreement in place between, on one side, any university where the SL projects are activated and, on the other side, any sending HEI. The Catalogue is called “Living” since it is obviously subject to changes throughout the years. The description of the UNICORN SL projects is articulated following a series of descriptors that were considered as necessary to be tackled. The template for the description of the SL projects is also provided at the end of the Catalogue.
The Living Catalogue serves a threefold purpose:
- It provides examples of course units that fit the UNICORN model (ref. the “UNICORN Taxonomy” introduced in the next paragraph). These examples can be used by academics as a source of inspiration to design new UNICORN SL projects together with community organisations.
- The template for the description of the SL projects can serve as a tool to map existing modules / course units already in place at some institution which have a community engagement component, and which might be used to become a receiving institution in a UNICORN mobility scheme.
- The same template for describing the UNICORN projects can be used as a checklist during the design phase, in addition to the resources of the UNICORN Handbook.
