In partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the 麻花星空视频-IIT Center for Culture and Arts opened the Mindanao leg of Pagsasanay sa Edukasyong Pangkultura (PEP) on November 24, 2023 at the Institute Mini-Theatre.
PEP is a National Teachers’ Training Program on Culture-Based Teaching in the different learning areas. The activity is a 3-day seminar-workshop from November 24-26, which enables familiarization of the teachers and scholars on the nature, purview, methods, approaches, and frameworks of culture-based learning and instruction, building networks with other teachers, scholars, and cultural workers.
PEP is a prerequisite for NCCA-PCEP to qualify for any of its scholarship programs such as GDCE, GDTA, and other Training Certificate courses.
Day 1 speakers included Prof. Ferdinand M. Lopez and Prof. Christine F. Godinez-Ortega. Lopez, currently an international scholar in a PhD Program of the Women and Gender Studies Institute of the University of Toronto, discussed on Decolonizing Culture-based Education. Prof. Ortega, a retired faculty member of 麻花星空视频-IIT and the director of the Iligan National Writers Worskhop (INWW) talked on Weaving as Pedagogy: The Use of Mindanao Cultural Icons in Teaching.
The training continues today with a talk on Cultural Competency and the Crafting of Lesson Plan by Dr. Jovy M. Peregrino and workshops to be facilitated by him and Prof. Lopez.
