Download Proposed Program for the National Lasallian Environmental Meeting

Hi Sir Noi!
Here are my comments:
1. Discussion and Reflection on the State of the Environment (Global, Regional and Local) and Challenges to the LASALLIAN Education Sector.
Specifically, the meeting should help surface
a. Key Issues needing Environmental Action (we need to determine what area we need to concentrate)
b. Key areas where schools can have a Niche/Major Impact/Contribution
2. Instead of conducting an inventory (the process and format might be tedious on the three of us), can we just create a new program where all LS schools can
participate like OMTB and PCN. This is the “beyond” part of OMTB. The inventory is LIFE’s responsibilities.
3. The program is excellent! Nice one sir Noi!
Joey’s take on the program
Program objectives (can we keep it simple like just have 3 objectives?)
1. provide input on climate change and the state of Philippine environment
2. to highlight lasallian environmental efforts
3. identify lasallian environmental directions for the next 3 years (strategic)
Program flow:
1st day
Input from academe (dlsu or dls dasma) focused on latest concepts and facts;
Input from gov’t (denr or phil council for sustainable dev’t) focused on environmental policies and mechanisms place;
Input from ngo (wwf-ci) focused on community based programs and projects in partnership with schools;
Case studies presentation from lasalle:
 life on how carbon neutral is lasalle: pcn study results and institutional recommendations;
 omtb on forest conservation efforts by schools: lessons learned and ways forward;

mainstreaming disaster risk reduction and management: how resilient are our schools and immediate community partners?
2nd day
Input - Glimpse of the modern conduct of schools (particularly on drrm and environment);
Input - Environmental directions by dlsp
Workshop: how do we sustain these efforts for the next 3 years? Do we need to prioritize? Do we need to establish a set of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms?

LIFE – OMTB: Proposed Program for the 2 – Day National Lasallian Environmental Meeting
National Meeting Objectives:
1. Discussion and Reflection on the State of the Environment (Global, Regional and Local) and Challenges to the Education Sector. Specifically, the meeting
should help surface
a. Key Issues needing Environmental Action
b. Key areas where schools can have a Niche/Major Impact/Contribution
2. Conduct of an Inventory/Survey/Impact study of Lasallian Initiatives in terms of Environmental Action, Education and Research (and their impacts), the
results of which to be presented during the National Meeting. (to be done prior the 2-day national meeting. It would be ideal if a comprehensive study be
done, if necessary, the services of a professional documenter/researcher be tapped to conduct the inventory/assessment. If not possible, a format and process
of conducting the inventory be given to each school. The study/survey must cover both LS initiatives in the local, regional and national levels).
3. Identify proposed areas for involvement/next steps of the Lasallian Schools in terms of Environmental Action, Education and Research.
4. Operationalize/Strategic Action Plan for the next 5 (or 10? 15?) years for the Lasallian Philippine Sector.
5. Celebration and affirmation of the LS initiatives and efforts of the champions as well as provide an opportunity to renew ties and inspire delegates.
Note: Numbers 3 and 4, to be presented to DLSP through LIFE for consideration of the appropriate body in the Philippine Lasallian Family.
