Greetings from Mindanao, Philippines!

The Ateneo de Davao University, through its Ateneo Internationalization for Mindanao Office, would like to invite you to share in a cultural immersion and take part in a global experiential learning program through Sulyáp: A Mindanao Study Visit this Fall of 2022.

The Mindanao Study Visit is a short-term cultural immersion program that invites our partners in higher education from all over the world to expand their learning horizons through meaningful encounters with the people, places, and multicultural lifeways of Mindanao.

The program features a five-day study tour around Davao City and several site visits in the region that introduce industries that champion local culture and heritage, as well as various local community partners, and Mindanawon advocacy groups. The program seeks to deepen our shared sense of global citizenship and interconnectedness through dialogue on common advocacies and meaningful intercultural encounters.

For this particular cycle, we invite you to take a closer look at our weaving communities in South Cotabato, Mindanao, and appreciate them closely through a visit to LASIWWAI or the Lake Sebu Indigenous Women Weavers Association, Inc., wherein the Tboli women empower their community through a thriving weaving industry that enthrallingly weaves dreams into reality.

We extend this invitation to students, faculty, and staff members of our international partner higher education institutions who would like to apply in groups of at least five participants.
