OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Likas-Kaya:
-
To raise awareness among UPOU constituents on the national state of climate change;
-
To form the social consciousness of UPOU constituents when it comes to crafting pro-people, and pro-environmental policy making; and
-
To encourage UPOU constituents to find sustainable solutions to modern issues.
TARGET AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS
The target audience of Likas-Kayas are the students, faculty, and staff of the University of the Philippines Open University that have login credentials to Tagpuan that can verify their identity as UPOU constituents.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Likas-Kaya! is a two-day webinar followed by a three-week climate change challenge workshop hosted by the University Student Council (USC) for all UPOU students, faculty, and staff. In solidarity with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, climate action, this project aims to take on the arduous challenge to combat climate change and inspire participants to propose solutions that promote sustainability. Select solutions will be featured on the USC’s official website and social media pages.
TAGPUAN
The Likas-Kaya! Climate Change Challenge is a set of modules and activities designed to introduce participants to different types of pollution and their devastating effects. The asynchronous workshop will guide participants to create innovative solutions that they will submit at the end of the program. Lectures on mining in the Philippines and the use and role of AI in climate change will also be provided as additional learnings for the participants.
The modules will be hosted on the TAGPUAN website, official student hub of UPOU, accessible by all UPOU students with guest access for faculty and staff upon request.
CHALLENGE DETAILS
A group shall be composed of 5 members at most, with at least one bona fide UPOU student. The groups shall propose a measure or a solution in handling pollution in the Philippines in a 3-minute audiovisual presentation (AVP). You are free to choose any subtopic in relation to pollution from which your AVP will be based. However, it shall be noted that, while the challenge allows choice of subtopics, the proposal shall be specific and substantial, i.e., it is not enough that the proposal merely contains that we should take care of the environment.
Attached herewith is the rubrics for grading the AVP:
