Introduction: This article describes the foundations and characteristics of Service-Based Learning (ABS or AeS) model, relating it to the educational models of UC Temuco and University of La Serena. The use of AeS in Design courses is tremendously useful and valuable in contributing to the achievement of the country's sustainable development objectives; promoting a virtuous, profound and mutually enriching encounter between knowledge and cultures that constitute it, from an intercultural and global perspective integrated into institutional work. Methodology: This writing reports on experiences carried out with AeS in two Chilean Design Schools: learning, difficulties and achievements achieved; demonstrating how its incorporation can impact the transformation of traditional teaching practices. The aim is to compare binding experiences developed between institutions that, although they have been successful and valued by students, have not been systematized or disseminated, disfavoring their replicability. Results: These experiences allowed students to develop a design project, satisfying local needs. Discussions: These strategies contribute to the achievement of generic competencies and development of change processes and regional society transformation; valuing human dignity and common good. Conclusions: The experiences carried out and results obtained indicate the value of AeS and application in project careers.
