The Value of Sewa: Selfless Service in Education for Sustainable Citizenship
ABSTRACT: This chapter explores the values of "Sewa" — the Indian cultural concept of selfless service — and its integration into education for the development of sustainable citizenship. By integrating social and emotional learning, service learning, and global citizenship education with a focus on sustainability and Sewa values, we provide the critical third pillar of experiential learning, which is currently missing from education, and is essential- for self and global well-being.
