PILIPINAS JOURNAL

We are a Learning Hub and Open Library tending to intersecting challenges using deliberate design, innovation, and localized education.

We believe that education goes beyond knowing a new theory or gaining a new skill. We raise awareness about a deliberate education that helps rebuild local knowledge systems, strengthen local communities, and celebrate diverse cultures to help people arrive at deeper understandings of the world we live in and make better decisions and purposeful actions that reconnect us back to nature and ourselves.

MISSION

We are on a mission to strengthen the collective hope and action of Filipino communities by transforming lifelong learning into a meaningful and empowering experience.

We aim to provide excellent and world-class frameworks and workshops to support more Filipinos break from the cycles of oppression through an education that empowers action and people-led movements that centers the well-being of the planet and people.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Empowering Critical and Compassionate Action

We believe in examining assumptions and deepening our understanding of ourselves and how we connect with the world. This can shape how we approach challenges with equal dedication and compassion which is essential in how we understand and shape a future together.

Forging Connections through Experiences

We recognize that everything is connected including the interdependence between ourselves and others, people and planet, mental and physical health. We weave in the values of life-centered design where connection in experiential learning is key to seeing an education that is more than a one-sided teaching and skill acquisition. We dedicate experiences that bring participants closer and provide an opportunity to learn in a safe space.

Learning Together

We believe that there is something to learn from everyone and there is more to learn with diversity in the room. Through a learning collective, we can spotlight grassroots and community-led initiatives that can last long and inspire collaborative movements.

Celebrating Filipino Culture and Diversity

We promote hopeful activism that begins with appreciation and love of country because we recognize that long-lasting change starts with knowing and caring for what is around us.
