UPOU and UPRHS Collaborate on Permaculture Activity for Grade 11 STEAM Students




Reflect and Grow: Understanding Planetary Health through Permaculture in the Philippine Context

The UPOU-FMDS Perma team was invited by UPRHS this morning to talk about UPOU's sustainability initiatives. Researcher, Raiza Alfroja, talked about the Sustainability in Action Living Laboratory Campus (SiALLC) while Dr. Jabez Flores and Ms. Maryjane Reodanga talked about the Perma GARDEN. The session was attended by four sections of Grade 11 students.

Special thanks to Asst. Prof. Grechelle Perez for organizing this initiative.

After the lectures, we went to the potential perma garden site of UPRHS. The Grade 11 students will have until Friday to accomplish an activity designed to help them observe, document, and list down existing natural and manmade resources found within the site, and also list down personal skills and interests that would help in them in their permaculture design process.
