Greetings from the Ateneo de Davao University!

We are very excited to have had a successful International Electronic Service-Learning Program (IE-SLP) cycle last October to December 2020, and we hope to invite you to our April 2021 IE-SLP run.

This virtual program is deeply aligned with Ateneo de Davao’s mission of social justice, community engagement, and intercultural understanding, which we now open to the students of higher education institutions abroad. In this service-learning program, student participants are empowered as youth leaders and young advocates to engage with and share the advocacies of Ateneo de Davao’s partner communities in Mindanao. Such advocacies include peacebuilding, empowerment of vulnerable groups (women and children), and indigenous education.

Ultimately, the IE-SLP is a 4-week virtual service-learning program that provides a virtual space for holistic formation through intercultural dialogue and meaningful transnational encounters with our partner communities.

We are, hereby, opening nominations for another cycle of the IE-SLP program, which will be held in April 2021. The call for nominations is ongoing (see primer and nomination guidelines here).

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!

If you’re interested in joining this program, please familiarize and prepare yourself with all the requirements and reach out to GEO through e-mail.
