When teachers and students from St. Joseph’s Institution International (SJI International) in Singapore embarked on their mission trip to the Philippines, they were eager to connect, learn, and immerse themselves in a new environment. Their journey led them to De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, a fellow Lasallian institution renowned for its innovative approach to education.
Upon arrival, the group was welcomed into the heart of Benilde’s creative community at the Design+Arts Campus. This modern facility is a haven for artistic minds, offering state-of-the-art studios and workshops tailored for various disciplines. The campus is home to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), the only space in Manila that approximates an international contemporary art museum, providing students with exposure to global art trends. The visitors were particularly impressed by the Learning Commons, a vibrant area designed to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among students. They also explored specialized spaces like the Fabrication Laboratory, where design students bring their concepts to life using advanced technology. The energy and passion within the campus were palpable, reflecting Benilde’s commitment to nurturing creativity and innovation.
