The Exchange Program

BACKGROUND

The EXCHANGE Program is a hybrid Social Formation Program, adapted from SACSI Office’s Social Involvement Month (SIMO); Summer of Service (SOS); and the Semestral Break Immersion Program (SBIP) and implemented in partnership with the Philosophy Department of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

It exposes students to social realities pervading at the grassroots level by deploying students to do trial labor in various working environments. On the other hand, partner companies get skills, attitude, and knowledge enhancement training seminars and workshops for their employees. This partnership enables the Ateneo to fulfill its mandate on helping in the development process of communities.

OBJECTIVES

1. Propel students into becoming socially aware of issues and problems in their communities.

2. Capacitate students by deepening their understanding and appreciation of the various philosophical theories on the human person through exposure setting.

3. Maximize tie-up with partner institutions through employee skills enhancement seminars and workshops at the same time providing opportunities for student formation.
