 ESSC is working with Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center (APC) to enhance its cultural documentation on environmental management.
APC operates an upland elementary school for indigenous peoples in
Bendum, a village in Northern Mindanao where the Pulangiyen community
lives. The APC school has a culture-based curriculum that uses mother
tongue based multilingual education (MLE). Recently, UNESCO-Bangkok
undertook an evaluation of the APC school to assist the MLE program.
In relation, APC is gathering other indigenous school representatives,
government officials, and assisting groups in Mindanao on 16 to 18
November 2009 in Malaybalay, Bukidnon to share and exchange at the
Conference on Culture, Environment and Education in Mindanao: Advancing
Indigenous Peoples’ Knowledge and Learning through Multilingual
Education.
