Local Youth Actions for SDGs and Beyond

The Linggo ng Kabataan: Local Youth Actions for SDGs and Beyond event, held on August 16, 2025, was organized by the University of San Agustin’s Social Advocacy and Community Engagement Office (SACEO) in partnership with the Social Sciences Department. The program aimed to deepen young people’s understanding of the SDGs and to inspire action at the grassroots level. Youth leaders and Sangguniang Kabataan representatives from Barangay Cubay, Jaro participated in interactive learning sessions led by university faculty and sustainability advocates. 

Discussions highlighted the vital role of youth in promoting environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and responsible governance. Participants identified local challenges - such as waste management, education access, and livelihood development - and connected them with relevant SDGs. Through workshops and presentations, the event encouraged collaboration, leadership, and civic engagement, reinforcing the University of San Agustin’s ongoing commitment to empowering communities and advancing sustainable development across generations.
