University-National Service Training Program (CatSU-NSTP) participated in a
seminar-workshop at Albert Hall, Teacher’s Camp, Baguio City, from March 1-4,

The event was
conducted by the Center for Human Research & Development Foundation (CHRDF)
Inc. in partnership with the University of the Philippines Baguio (UP Baguio).
The

the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Law, by revisiting and unpacking
IRR and IGP for NSRC, and aligning NSTP with the vision and mission of the
institution.
The
seminar-workshop also focused on delivering NSTP courses through a
learner-centered approach and recalibrating NSTP of each Higher Education
Institution (HEI) through designing contextualized NSTP.
The four-day
Seminar-Workshop held a series of simultaneous sessions for NSTP directors,
coordinators, teachers and students of the participating HEIs in the country.
Concurrently, the
National NSTP Student Leadership Conference 2023 was also conducted, which
aimed to provide leadership competency development among Filipino youth,
instilling the value of patriotism and nationalism.
The Director of
CatSU-NSTP, Prof. Emlyn M. Lanon, was accompanied by two NSTP student-trainees,
Ms. Karyl M. Tugay from the College of Education-Bachelor of Secondary
Education-English, and Mr. Thomas Miguel T. Delapeña from the College of
Engineering and Architecture-Civil Engineering.
The conference
aimed to train students to fully appreciate and understand how NSTP should be
regarded as not just a college course but a way of life, as they are expected
to develop a deeper sense of its purpose and significance. The program is a
source of life skills, a part of social responsibility, and a passion for
lifelong learning. #CVecilles
