Popis: Based on Marcel Mauss’s theory of the gift, a way of understanding the social bond which helps to explain the formation of people as moral subjects is presented. After presenting the questions that underlie our refl ection, the methods used to prepare the proposal are explained. The aim of the article is to raise awareness and contribute to the incorporation of the dynamisms of the gift –its relationship and service to the community– in the field of education. This is based on two concepts: that the gift is an essential formative dynamism and that a well-rounded education demands a two-way gift cycle: from teachers to students and from the latter to the community. Finally, an appropriate methodological proposal is presented to work on each cycle of the gift: the tutorial and service learning.
