Ms. Clarissa B. Orpilla, a 4th year Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major in English student recently completed the Spring 2022 Global Engagement e-Certificate program hosted virtually by of Ferris State University, United States which ran from February 7, 2022 to April 22, 2022.
The Global Engagement e-Certificate program is an honors program offered virtually by Ferris State University which connects Ferris students with their peers from around the world virtually to engage in dialogue on global topics. It aims to help students meet new people from around the world, gain confidence sharing perspectives on complex global topics, and practice intercultural communication skills.
Each week, the participants of the program completed readings and watched videos under various sustainability themes based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; namely, Global health, urbanization, and social justice. The discussions used the Deliberative Dialogues format, a national model for difficult dialogues, and are structured conversations facilitated by group leaders to assist students in learning to engage with their peers from around the world. Successful participants at the end of the program were given certificates after a thorough assessment of participation by the program coordinators.
It is the 2nd time that Ms. Clarissa B. Orpilla has participated in the Global Engagement e-Certificate Program. She and Mr. Mark Kelvin Dumaya, a fellow SPUP student, joined the Spring 2021 cycle last year.
