Moreover, PMAJ Sumadsad’s expertise in the field, coupled with interactive engagement with attendees, promises a dynamic learning environment where students can deepen their understanding of these fundamental concepts.

“This is a good platform po to engage in such discussions, so I am really happy that they have this webinar. We gained knowledge about UDHR and more,” one of the student attendees said.

Therefore, as JPC and OSAS continue to take initiatives on discussions that promote social responsibility and ethical awareness, webinars like this serve as a testament to their commitment to inclusivity and justice within the student community.
