Workshop and Manual Production for Dominican Schools in the Philippines

As a follow up to online training for teachers from twenty seven Dominican Schools in the Philippines on climate change, environmental degradation, and impact on human life, a workshop to conclude the training is scheduled for October 20-24, 2023 in Baguio, Philippines.

The workshop will bring together a select group of teachers, school administrators, staff of University of Saint Thomas’ Simbahayan Community Development Center, and the Promoters for Justice and Peace of the friars and apostolic sisters, to work together to produce a manual for schools in the Philippines.

The gathering which is titled “writeshop” will focus on climate change, environmental degradation and impact on human health and human rights, and will target primarily students from grades 1 to 10. The content of the manual will draw from the scriptures, indigenous peoples’ wisdom, Catholic social teaching, especially Laudato Si and Laudato Deum, and tradition of the Order in this area.
