Ten USP students will participate in the Builders Connect Learning Programme. The students will work with two NGOs in the Philippines to gain a deeper and more critical understanding of what causes poverty, its complex and multifaceted nature, and what students can do about it.

USP will host 34 students from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Malaysia. The students will take part in a community development and social entrepreneurship study trip planned by Associate Professor Albert Teo. The visit is the reciprocal component of the ‘Forgotten Communities’ study trip held in Malaysia last December.
