This document outlines Moussa B's facilitation of a workshop on empowering students and helping the community through service learning. The objectives of the workshop are to explain service learning and its importance, analyze the components of project development, and have participants construct and present a service learning plan. The workshop includes icebreaker activities, a discussion of what service learning is, videos, and an explanation of the four steps to service learning - preparation, action, reflection, and demonstration. Participants then work in groups to create their own service learning project, which they present to the whole group. The facilitator thanks all for their participation.
