TULAYAN: TO BRIDGE OR CONNECT 〰️
Together we’ll learn, connect and celebrate our culture through mentorship, networking, workshops, food and more!
This year’s theme, tulayan, means to bridge or to connect in many languages in the Philippines.
RISE UP: TULAYAN aims to bridge Filipinx youth to each other, to other generations, to Filipinx culture and to possibilities.
TULAYAN celebrates the curiosity, empathy, understanding and openness of exploring our unique, yet interwoven, experiences.
