The neoliberal educational policy encouraged competitiveness and individualism, into a post-democratic drift. The democratic renaissance con only be made by the increase of a new social capital, by the support of a community-oriented rather than a specialist thinking that originates above participation, design and political democratic actions, connected with the develop of learning. Can Service Learning pedagogical approach contrast this post-democratic tendency in support of development of well-integrated individuals instead of only competent and competitive makers? This proposal has his roots in social pedagogics and in activism of last century and certainly fits the idea of person that is in the Italian Constitution. The fulfilment of Service Learning projects in the contest of the 'Softskill and career counselling' program, by complement each other the instruction of fieldwork and the social skills of civic engagement, represents the third via of framework development, which relates this approach with the socialist pedagogy of work.
