Title: Asociativismo: Una experiencia de servicio a la comunidad y aprendizaje colectivo entre organizaciones no gubernamentales y docentes universitarios               
Abstract: The following paper shows an experience of community service whose aim was to strengthen the “Institutional Capacities” of various nonprofit institutions (NGOs) linked to the Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (UNGS). In the last few decades, the argentine university system increased grants to work projects with NGOs. As part of that process, university professors, in management field, involved in organizational analysis, began to study the organizational dynamics of NGOs. In this context, the project “Asociativismo” developed seven workshops about organizational experiences and knowledge (between august and december 2013). These workshops created a context for collective learning. On one hand, it gave tools to the NGOs to perform a self-diagnosis, while, on the other hand, we encouraged them to create links and interactions between organizations and professors. It was also the begining of a knowledge transfer process in two ways -popular and academic knowledge-, by positioning the management to  the  university  extension  programs  just  with  other  fields  of  knowledge.
