LPU Cavite through the Coordinator for International Affairs, Ms. Mia Aiko Pilapil, attended the AFS Philippines 2022 Hosting Partners Assembly held last May 26-29,2022 at Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan in Cagayan de Oro City.

AFS Intercultural Programs Philippines is a global not-for-profit Network that provides intercultural learning opportunities to help people develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed to create a more just and peaceful world. Through the assembly, volunteers and school coordinators from all over the Philippines were able to know and discuss the hosting programs, support structure, placement realities, and best practices of AFS Philippines.

As the partnership between LPU Cavite and AFS Philippines grows stronger, LPU Cavite will be expecting to host some foreign exchange students who will be attending classes in the next academic year. This would allow them to become more immersed in the Filipino culture and for LPU students to become more aware and understanding of the importance of cultural diversity in society.
