Change the Current

Goal

Integrate environmental education activities in the national curriculum and instill eco-friendly practices in school and at home

Background

Change the Current (CTC) began in 2020 as a series of infographics on climate change issues in the Philippines. It evolved into an education and leadership program for adolescents in 2021 (CTC 1.0), for college students and young professionals in 2022 (YCTC), and for educators in 2023 (CTC 2.0).

​

CTC 1.0 was in partnership with the Department of Education-Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service (DepEd-DRRMS) and UNICEF Philippines, YCTC with the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative and the US Embassy in the Philippines, and CTC 2.0 with UNICEF Philippines and DepEd-DRRMS, with support from The Marketplace and Kiehl's Philippines.

​

The 2024 workshops are being supported by Ashoka Globalizer and private donors.
