Abstract:
The economic and financial crisis has exposed another crisis: that of values. Values such as irresponsibility, greed, and insolidarity have led to a great deterioration of coexistence and civic and social awareness. We must direct our actions to promote values that result in attitudes and behaviors of solidarity, responsible and justice so that society as a whole benefits from it. It is here that education has a huge challenge and those proposals and educational projects that seek to promote the education of people committed to the world in which they live are vital. This is the best way to make a new society flourish, fair and intolerant of injustice. In this line we present the INNOVA + 3 project for the training of teachers. This project stresses this promotion of positive values by means of the training of future pre-service teachers, trying to develop in university students a solid ethical and moral basis, capable of transmitting to the new generations a new social model. The development of INNOVA + 3 has led to the implementation of Learning-Service projects as a teaching-learning methodology, providing a service to elderly people (alpha and neo-lectors) users of Adult Education Centers in Province of Castellón (Spain). Its main characteristic has been to use motor play and body expression as tools for learning, used in the implementation of Service-Learning projects. Academic and personal apprenticeships that adequately shape the identity of future teachers are pursued to promote a social changeKeywords:
