The research group ENDAVANT (Approach to Diversity as an Advantage) at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castelló has been developing and researching service-learning programmes in the field of teacher training for more than a decade. Most of these programmes have been carried out in close collaboration with associations that care for vulnerable children or those at risk of social exclusion. Throughout this time, more than a thousand students of the UJI's teacher training degrees in early childhood and primary education, as well as more than a hundred children, have taken advantage of their participation in these programmes.

As a result of this work, the evaluation committee of the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement has considered that the ENDAVANT research group is worthy of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award for its contribution to this field through the promotion of intervention and research programmes in service-learning. The award will be officially presented at the next IARSLCE conference, to be held in October 2023 in New Orleans (USA).

The group, led by Óscar Chiva Bartoll, is made up of Ismael Cabero Fayos, Carlos Capella Peris, Jesús Gil Gómez, María Maravé Vivas, Manuel Martí Puig, Marc Pallarès Piquer, Celina Salvador García and Lorena Zorrilla Silvestre, Marina Gargallo García, Sheila Parra Gómez, Marta Sánchez Jiménez, Andreu Serret Segura, Juan Navarro García, Patricia Balaguer Rodríguez and Alejandro Ribes Ferrer.

At the beginning of the year, the team started two new projects. The first involves the design of a programme that combines academic learning and the provision of community services. It will be applied in the subject Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, and will work with various groups of children with functional diversity and their families. The aim of the second study is to review the existing methodology for analysing teaching competence in Physical Education and Sport and to propose a tool to be applied in both teaching and research practice.

In 2017, the group worked on Innova+3, funded by the Regional Ministry of Education, Research, Culture and Sport, a project that improved the transversal competences of students of the Bachelor's Degree in Teaching through collaboration with the Adult Education Centres of the counties of Castelló. The teaching staff of these centres welcomed UJI students to apply educational projects in literacy and neo-literacy groups (with people over 65 years old) and the students improved their training at the same time as they provided a service to society.

In addition, this research group has carried out several doctoral theses with impact publications that have been awarded with different prizes, as well as multiple studies of international reference that have analysed the impact of these service-learning programmes, both on university students and on the participating social groups. In this sense, the studies carried out have highlighted, among other issues, the value of service-learning as an educational approach capable of promoting university social transfer.

The IARSLCE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award (Stanford University, United States) recognises research excellence in the field of service-learning linked to diversity, equity and inclusion. The aim of the award is to recognise research that focuses specifically on the needs and experiences of various actors involved in service-learning; practices that promote equity for underserved communities, and strategies that make service-learning projects more inclusive.
