CTU wins Gawad Edukampyon 2021

The community engagement initiative dubbed “Amping Cebuano” earned Cebu Technological University its first  Gawad Edukampyon award for Public Service and Community Engagement on October 25, 2021, via Facebook live.

Out of 124 entries from 55 public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) across the nation, Amping Cebuano was among the 23 shortlisted entries reaching the final phase.

11  judges from various institutions evaluated each project in terms of  presentation (logical sequence, clarity and creativity), content (innovativeness, resilience, adaptability), and impact of the actual intervention.

‘Bayanihan’ spirit or the collective effort of the community  amidst the pandemic is the cornerstone of the  initiative to  guide them in serving  various frontliners in the region, according to CTU Extension Services Director Jorelyn Concepcion. Specifically,  financial resources were gathered to produce  protective gears, face masks and more .
