This study provides an in-depth analysis of the specificities of actor networking within the Central and Southeastern European Network for Service-Learning. It presents the context that led to the network's emergence in the region. The paper then delves into the network's main activities, highlighting how its collaborative initiatives have facilitated cross-border knowledge exchange, training programs, the establishment of a Regional Service-Learning Award, and advocacy for policy changes to institutionalise service-learning across Central and Eastern Europe. A dedicated section of the study is focused on evaluating the network's impact on its member organisations and the region's broader advancement of service-learning pedagogy. This includes an examination of the benefits that organisations have experienced by being part of the network, as well as the network's contribution to the growth and sustainability of service-learning initiatives. Finally, the study reflects on the CSEE Network for Service-Learning prospects, exploring strategies and opportunities for further strengthening regional collaboration and highlighting the long-term benefits of networking for promoting service-learning in Central and Eastern Europe.
