I am including a short video, it is just from a charity organization that shows examples of kids working on projects together, but I found it true that it is helpful and builds character.

In the Service of What
I found this article to be enlightening and shed light on the importance of service learning and the pros and cons to the different strategies to utilize service learning. In my high school experience we had to do a service learning project and I found it very enriching. It instilled in me a great joy in helping others. I worked at an elderly home and really connected with some of the people there and it felt great helping them. I felt part of the community and I really felt like it was possible for me to make a difference. It really showed me that I had skills that could be used to help people and that is a feeling one can not always get in the classroom.

I agree with you that hands on learning is the best way of learning and analyzing important matters rather than sitting in a classroom and doing research only. When you're a part of something physically and emotionally you become more critical and analytical. You tend to see things with a different and beneficial perspective.
