Abstract:
Following the lead role of the University to host the Times Higher Education (T.H.E.) Southeast Asian forum, a set of University strategic roadmaps was tend to be crafted among the Southeast Asian universities, and with the initial effort from the Mahidol University in Thailand. De La Salle University aligned the new ELGAs to the SDG-related advocacies, specifically Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and environmental care. LCC courses are supposed to address DEI and the environment, 21st-century skills, and Filipinization/Pilipinisasyon.
The discussion also covered the Green Impact Experiment - commitments to maintaining an environment-friendly lifestyle (Oath for Planet Earth); webinar on Education for Sustainable Development among La Sallian schools worldwide (currently operating in 70 countries). This will explore the current developmental differences in various southeast Asian economies, as well as the current difference on sustainable production in Asia vis-à-vis sustainable consumption in the West.
