The IE-SLP November cycle is a 4-week global experiential and formative opportunity under the service-learning framework. This program is co-implemented by OPAPP. It is the first of the series of “Our Bangsamoro: Living and Learning Together in Peace and Fraternity” Project.
As inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together (a joint statement signed by Pope Francis of the Catholic Church and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, on 04 February 2019), this program invites local and international participants “to remain rooted in the values of peace, to defend the values of mutual understanding, human fraternity, and harmonious coexistence.”
