Director of Strategic Innovation & Cultural Communication
The School of Kapwa nurtures the Filipino community in London & the UK, guiding individuals toward healing, cultural reconnection & empowerment.
My role with the School of Kapwa aligns our community vision & goals through strategic planning & innovative solutions with effective communication to amplify our cultural mission.
“We are a community rooted in the Filipino indigenous value of ’kapwa’, which translates to shared identity or togetherness.
Kapwa is a core concept in Filipino psychology (Sikolohiyang Pilipino) which emphasises interconnectedness, mutual respect, and collective well-being.
We cultivate these values by promoting a deeper understanding of Filipino cultural identity, traditional knowledge in a contemporary context and community-based practices.
With meaningful reciprocity and sensitivity we use various knowledge exchange opportunities including workshops, educational programme’s, nature outings and circle gatherings.
So that members of the diaspora can reconnect with their Filipino cultural roots and each other, embrace indigenous wisdom, connect with the land and apply these principles in their daily lives to contribute to the well-being of themselves and their communities.”
