Abstract

The aim of this paper is to represent the implementation of service-learning methodology into Croatia's information sciences which contributed to meeting the needs of the rural population's on two Croatian islands. Those needs defined as a digital skills in rural tourism for adults and STEM education of elementary school children are usually not easily accessible in rural areas. Thirteen students of information sciences from the University of Zagreb have spent a week with rural organization LAG 5 from Korčula implementing robotics workshops for children (Micro:bit and MBot) and teaching web and online advertising for rural entrepreneurs. This kind of collaboration helped develop the rural community's core skills and entrepreneurial capabilities but also motivated students for developing their expertise in teaching, problemsolving, teamwork, taking initiative and innovation. Service-learning proved to be an effective tool for strengthening the partnership and support between universities and rural organizations in which we boost social innovation and explore specific rural development opportunities.
