This collaboration can help university students to polish their leadership skills. At the same time, high school students can learn about community service through such projects. In summer 2023, students from three high schools admitting students with behavioral and emotional problems joined the Service- Learning projects implemented by university students in three sites in mainland China (Hangzhou, Xi'an and Chengdu). In this study, we conducted focus group interviews with the high school students and their teachers on their experience of joining the Service-Learning projects. Results showed the high school students and teachers generally had a positive experience about the collaboration and they also perceived its positive impact on the development of high school students and themselves. They also suggested some areas for refinement. This study underscores the value of collaborative Service-Learning projects involving university and high school students to serve the needy in the community. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
