The Center for Social Concern and Action (COSCA), Culture and Arts Office (CAO), Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) and the External Relations and Internationalization Office (ERIO) hosted participants of the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific's (UMAP) Discovery Camp 2016 at De La Salle University from July 31 - August 2, 2016. Students from various universities in Asia and the Pacific took part in the DLSU leg of the camp which focused on Building Environmental and Cultural Awareness towards Climate Resiliency. During the first day at DLSU, Norby Salonga, COSCA Development Specialist, presented the objectives and framework for the conference. He also facilitated and synthesized the workshop focusing on how ASEAN youth can influence others to become more environmentally aware and resilient amidst all natural and human-made hazards in the region. On the succeeding day, participants visited COSCA's Talim Bay Coastal Resource Management (CBCRM) Project in Lian, Batangas to get a firsthand look at how it has successfully helped the community transition from destructive fishing practices to their present culture of marine protection and care. They also got a taste of the community's cuisine during the solidarity lunch they had with officers and members of the Fisherfolk Associaiton. The Talim Bay Coastal Resource Management Program (CBCRM) is part of the Lasallian Environmental Sustainability and Governance Component (L-EnviSage) of COSCA's SDG Localization Project.
