POP-UP! Conversation on Community Development though Education and Volunteerism

This POP-UP brought together the design and advocacy communities for an early morning conversation on how education and volunteerism can transform lives. Alcariza Peregrino shared powerful insights from her journey with Angat Buhay and her current work as Executive Director of I Am Hope Org, inspiring everyone to see how small actions can create ripple effects of change. Over coffee and breakfast, stories of service turned into fuel for reflection and purpose.

With the support of I Am Hope Org and Schöne, the talk highlighted the value of collaboration in building stronger, more compassionate communities. It was a reminder that design doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s tied to people, impact, and the collective effort to make things better.
