**Citizenship in international service learning** John Annette, President, Richmond University, UK [john.annette@richmond.ac.uk] **Keywords:** Citizenship models**,** cross-cultural analysis**,** program design**,** evaluation**,** international **Track:** Theoretical or conceptual frameworks to advance research **Format:** Research paper  **Date & time:** Friday 9:30-10:40 **Location:** Salon 5 **Summary:** One of the key challenges facing service learning is to clarify our understanding of what we mean by the term ‘active citizenship,’ which is increasingly seen as a key learning outcome for service learning. (Battistoni, 2002; Vogelgesang and Rhoads,2003;Welch, 2010).  Based on my work on community based learning (service learning) in England (UK), I want to consider the use of models of citizenship in service learning program design, as well as the evaluation of and research into service learning in the UK, the USA, and internationally. This is a theoretical analysis, and various hypotheses will be considered in light of the conceptual and empirically based research literature on the subject. The main models of citizenship that will be considered are the “active citizenship,” “democratic citizenship,” and “cosmopolitan citizenship” models. These will be then reviewed in light of the research literature on international service learning. I will also present a comparative framework for considering models of citizenship in a number of different cultural and political contexts in international service learning. The main conclusions will raise some important issues about the different models of citizenship which inform the program design, evaluation and research into service learning in the UK, the USA, and internationally. I also hope to raise some questions about how cross-cultural analysis will assist researchers into international service learning and the comparative study of service learning internationally. **References:** Annette, J.
