APRU (Virtual) Undergraduate Leaders’ Programme (ULP) 2021

The (virtual) Undergraduate Leaders’ Programme (ULP) nurtures emerging undergraduate leaders to become real-world change makers by driving awareness, action and change on topics of global concerns. By joining the ULP 2021, youth leaders will gain a multifaceted perspective on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Asia-Pacific region and be equipped with the necessary skills in producing video blog or vlog and knowledge in critical digital literacy, transforming them into active and engaged thinkers and creators in digital environments.

The ULP 2021 will be hosted by the University of the Philippines on October 18-29, 2021. The programme will enable youth leaders to collaborate and resolve challenges faced by a developing country in the Asia-Pacific through a 12-day programme of virtual lectures and workshops with interactive sessions on creativity, innovation and empowerment.
