John Noble - Service Learning
John Noble graced us with his presence today and lectured about Service Learning and the importance of it. I found it very interesting and made many notes on his lecture. One thing that popped out to me was:
“How to Recognise the Servant Leader”
- listen well
- empathetic
- healing
- aware
- persuasive
- conceptualisation
- foresight
- stweardship
- building community
- commitment to growth
He made any good points on Servant Learning and I enjoyed listening to his speech, although I must admit at times I might have dozed off a little bit. There are even many Universities in England that offer similar programmes to ours, here is a link to the University of Manchester’s cirriculum: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/international/studyabroad/servicelearning/ Later on after the lecture was over we had the day to ourselves to explore London and our surroundings until we went to see Jersey Boys at the Prince Edward Theatre. I am not one for men singing and prancing about however Jersey Boys was fun to watch except not to listen to becuase the women sitting behind me decided to sing along, very loud and drunk!!
