Last April 27โ28, four of our esteemed faculty members successfully facilitated workshops for PAPJA 2026, centered on the theme "Futurescaping Psychology: Our Role in Attaining the Sustainable Development Goals."
Sir Asher Escaรฑo Bayot presented his workshop, โ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐๐ช๐ข๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ: ๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐โ orienting students toward translating quantitative findings into clear, engaging, honest, and humanly understandable narratives (SDG 4: Quality Education).

The session offered a gentle reminder that the inner child is not merely a site of wounds, but also a keeper of hopes and a dreamer of futures still waiting to unfold (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education).
Maโam Lovan Flores conducted "๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐

Inspired by Positive Psychology, students experienced joy, focus, connection, meaning, and completion through the creation of these postcards (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production).
The success of these workshops stands as a testament to the dedication and expertise of our faculty, whose active participation underscores the department's commitment to advancing the field of psychology in the context of global sustainability. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Sir Asher, Maโam Loraine, Maโam Lovan, and Maโam Sigrid for their remarkable contributions to PAPJA 2026.
By bridging the gap between theory and the Sustainable Development Goals, our faculty members have represented our institution with distinction and inspired the next generation of practitioners to lead with purpose and innovation. Their involvement serves as a proud reminder of the vital role our faculty plays in shaping a more resilient and mindful future for all.
