Selected Grade 10 students had a chance to dialogue with indigenous teachers and students from ALCADEV (Alternative Learning Center for Agricultural and Livelihood Development) Surigao del Sur. The program was held last July 26, 2016 at the Center for Lasallian Formation with the theme, “Kapit-kamay, Bukas-malay: Lasalyano at Lumad Magkaugnay”. It aimed at enhancing the Lasallian youth’s awareness and understanding of the Lumad community, their rich culture, contributions and the plight for their ancestral land.
This activity was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Teatro Zobel members and its moderators, Ms. Laarni Bongao, Ms. Mylene Gannaban and Ms. Jenny Pioquid, as well as the following units/offices: Social Action, Student Clubs and Activities, High School Social Studies, Filipino and Christian Living.
ALCADEV is an alternative learning system especially designed to provide secondary education to indigent indigenous youth (Manobo, Banwaon, Higanon, Talaandig, and Mamanwa) of Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan Norte and Sur, to empower them to take active role in shaping our country’s future.
