CILO Alignment
CILO 4.1
Design a project that embodies an authentic Christian
spirituality.

ILO Alignment Create an exhibit that will promote a culture of
dialogue.

So many differences divide the country and the world today. Differences in
culture, political beliefs, religion, race, social class are just some of these.
These differences become even more pronounced in social media where
fake news is rampant, hate speech is prevalent, biases are strong, and
opinions can be highly polarized. These realities make the need for
Context
spirituality and dialogue urgent and real. As such, your goal is to mount a
catchy and informative online exhibit that will awaken people to the need to
reaffirm the values of truth, mercy and communion by engaging in dialogue
especially with those who are different.

 The task given to you is composed of two parts:
a. Dialogue exercise (individual)
b. Online exhibit (group)
The first part will allow you to engage in a personal albeit online dialogue
with someone (an “other”) who is different from you in terms of culture,
political beliefs, religion, race, or social class. E.g. if you are strongly
against Duterte, try to dialogue with someone who is strongly for Duterte.
Apply the spirituality of truth, mercy and communion as you strive to
engage in a peaceful and productive conversation with the person, without
Task Summary sacrificing your personal beliefs and convictions, but being able to set
aside your biases and learning how to listen to them and converse with
them with sincerity and openness. Reflect about your experience using the
following guide questions (see below)
The second part will be a group task. After sharing your experiences in the
first part of the activity, you will mount a simple online campaign e.g. set of
memes, vlog, short AVP or other medium putting together the lessons you
have learned based on your reflection.
To guide you in doing the task, see the guidelines below.

Audience Fellow young people, your contacts in social media

A. Dialogue and Reflection

● Each individual is to find someone with whom to engage in a personal
albeit online dialogue, applying the lessons and principles learned in the
class. One need not go out of the UST community as even in our
immediate context, so many differences can already be found, and we
can begin to understand others by understanding those around us.
● Afterwards, one will reflect on the experience following but not limited to
these guide questions:
a. What were our strongest differences? What were our significant
similarities?
b. What were our struggles/difficulties as we engage in dialogue with
an “other”? Were there any good or pleasant aspects as well?
c. What things learned in class was I able to validate/apply?
d. What did I learn from our dialogue that I can practice in dealing with
Guidelines “others” in the future?
● Recommended Length: 1-2 pages
