From 4-8 May 2026, science educators from various public schools convened for the third year of "Mentoring Future Leaders for Nation Building." This initiative is part of the ongoing partnership between De La Salle Philippines, De La Salle Dasmariñas – Basic Education Division, and the Security Bank Foundation Inc. This year’s program focused on empowering teachers to spearhead student-led, sustainable science projects tailored to their local communities.
Over the course of the five-day program, participants strengthened their leadership capabilities through intensive workshops on stakeholder engagement and partner mapping. They were also equipped with specialized evaluation tools to streamline the planning and execution of community initiatives. The program culminated in a series of presentations where teachers defended their community action plans before a panel of experts, receiving strategic recommendations for implementation in the upcoming school year.
