Student’s awareness on Women’s empowerment and LGBT consciousness

As a requirement for the subjects Afro-Asian and Anglo-American Literature under Mr. Randy T. Nobleza, the AB-English III conducted a five-day forum for the MSC Pre-Vday celebration with the theme “Justice” of this year’s event for women, One Billion Rising which is celebrated worldwide during the month of February. Students’ papers and researches were presented and discussed in a plenary session, and later, the exchange of information and ideas between the presenters and the audience was organized in the open forum proper wherein the topics that were discussed were mostly literary pieces in line with the subjects. In the discussion, the presenters related their papers and researches to the theme of the event as a way to give information and more importantly to spread awareness to the students with regards to the empowerment of women and consciousness to the existence of LGBT. This book which served as the output documented from the event is a collection of papers of different abstracts presented in the fora. This book contains the proceedings, summary of ideas, comments and suggestions that were shared and talked about by the students as well as the teachers. Also through this event, the presenters were able to bring learning outside the normal classroom setting to encourage the practice of sharing ideas among students.
