The Being BOLD Handbook is now available!

We are proud to share the publication of the Being BOLD – Handbook of Social Action and Service Learning in Pre-Service Teacher Education, another output of the BOLD project.

This open-access resource brings together theory, tools, and examples of real-life practices to support the integration of social action and service learning into initial teacher education. With a strong focus on linguistic and cultural diversity, the Handbook aims to help future teachers become active, inclusive, and socially engaged professionals.

What’s inside?

  • Conceptual background: key ideas underpinning the BOLD approach to social justice, inclusion, and civic engagement;
  • Presentation of BOLD resources: including 10 open-access modules, a set of principles for service learning towards linguistic and cultural diversity in higher education, and a practical toolkit for project design and implementation;
  • Examples of practices from the field: showcasing how BOLD was integrated into curricula and community-based projects across the Europe;
  • Voices from students and teachers: reflections on learning, change, and participation.

Who is it for?

  • Teacher educators;
  • Pre-service and in-service teachers;
  • Educational institutions;
  • Researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in inclusive and community-oriented education.
