A delegation of students and faculty members from the College of Development Communication (CDC) attended the launch of the UP-CIFAL Philippines’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) storybook series, “Susie for Sustainability,” which was produced by the DEVC 144 (Media-Based Learning Systems) class of Dr. Liza A. Cabrera. Graced by the presence of UP President Angelo A. Jimenez, the launch was held at the Malcolm Theater of the UP College of Law yesterday, 28 October 2024.
The series is composed of five storybooks tackling SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 17 (Partnership for the Goals).
This was the result of a formal collaboration entered into by both parties in March earlier this year.
During the event, the student writers shared their experiences on the book production process. They were also given the opportunity to read each storybook to the audience.
