In line with the 400th founding anniversary of San Sebastian Basilica, a National Cultural Treasure, cultural practitioners from diverse disciplines will discuss its continuing preservation and its current state in the country in a free public webinar.
Dubbed as “Beyond the Basilica: Heritage Conservation and Appreciation,” the webinar will provide an in-depth understanding, scrutinization, and diverse perspectives on the subject.
Educator Brenson Andres, who handled Social Studies at the University of the Philippines (UP) Integrated School for nine years, will share his insights on teaching heritage appreciation in K-12 as well as a glimpse into its curriculum and pedagogy. A top-notcher in the April 2011 Licensure Examination for Teachers, he is currently a research student at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.
