BRIDGES OF LEARNING: Every Story Matters, Every Voice Inspires Change!

What if your voice could inspire change and your story could make a difference?

On October 16, 2026, the American Corner Baguio, in collaboration with Project MILAN, Saint Louis University Libraries, and the SLU Communication Society, brought together young learners and student leaders for a full-day capacity-building activity under the Bridges of Learning: Connecting with America series.

Guided by the theme “Connecting Voices, Creating Change: Empowering Youth Through Digital Storytelling, Responsible Communication, and Civic Engagement,” the activity featured insightful discussions, interactive workshops, and collaborative learning experiences that encouraged participants to become creative, critical, and responsible communicators in the digital age.

Through the guidance of resource speakers and facilitators, participants explored how digital storytelling, responsible media engagement, and the thoughtful use of digital platforms can amplify voices, promote informed participation, and inspire positive change in their communities.

The activity also provided an opportunity for American Corner Baguio to introduce its programs, services, and learning resources through an information session, highlighting opportunities for learning, research, professional development, and cultural exchange. Participants were also introduced to eLibraryUSA, a digital research platform offering access to credible online resources, academic databases, and information for learning and research. An eLibraryUSA quick-registration session further encouraged participants to discover and access these valuable digital resources.

Beyond developing communication skills, the activity empowered young people to recognize the power of their voices, communicate thoughtfully, use digital resources responsibly, and embrace their role as informed and engaged citizens.

At American Corner Baguio, every story opens doors to learning, every connection sparks new possibilities, and every voice has the potential to create meaningful change.
Your voice matters. Your story counts. Your actions can make a difference!

BRIDGES OF LEARNING: Connecting History, Law, and Society

How does history shape the laws we live by today?

On October 13, 2026, the American Corner Baguio and AC SAM Volunteers hosted an engaging learning session under “Bridges of Learning: Connecting with America” at Saint Louis University.

The session examined the historical significance of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1909 and its influence on Philippine law. Through meaningful discussions, Political Science students explored the connections among law, governance, ancestral domain, and the development of legal principles in the Philippines.

By connecting historical decisions with contemporary legal and social issues, the activity encouraged critical thinking, informed dialogue, and a deeper appreciation of how legal traditions shape society.

At American Corner Baguio, learning goes beyond the classroom—it builds connections, broadens perspectives, and inspires informed citizenship.

When crisis strikes, a resilient internet and responsible online communication become our strongest lifelines.

On October 5, 2026, Saint Louis University (SLU), through the collaboration of American Corner Baguio and the SLU Data Privacy Office, hosted the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) 2026 – Philippines Local Hub at the Maryheights Campus in Bakakeng Norte, Baguio City.

Carrying the theme "Safeguarding a Resilient Internet in Times of Crisis," the event ran live-streamed sessions parallel with the main hub in Nepal—seamlessly connecting our local community with critical regional dialogues on Internet governance, Super Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence), and digital resilience across the Asia-Pacific.

The forum brought together 3rd-year BSIT and BSCS students from SLU’s School of Accountancy, Management, Computing and Information Studies (SAMCIS) for an impactful day of learning and engagement.

As part of the Bridges of Learning: Connecting with America initiative, the event also featured:
