Unit Overview
Unit Title
The Challenge of the Youth Today
Unit Summary
This unit will tackle the following topics: Introduction to the Course, The Church and the Quest for
Justice, Themes on the Catholic Social Teachings, Good Citizenship, Integrity of Creation and Notion of the Marginalized Sector. As an introductory unit, this will cover the salient points of Republic Act
9163 or the “NSTP Act of 2001.” This unit will provide the framework of justice and citizenship in the light of the Catholic Teachings, Philippine Constitution and the Jesuit Education. This unit will also highlight the role of youth in nation building. Through lectures, workshops and audio visual presentation, the students will be introduced to basic social realities where they are challenged to respond proactively. As an initial project, students will come up with a video documentary on a profile of the marginalized sectors of Davao City. They will be divided into teams and will be assigned a particular sector to study. They will do research, interview and visitation to their assigned sectors and relevant government and non-government agencies. This project will allow students to evaluate the discussions in class and will give them hands-on experience on the social realities happening around them. The video documentary will be a good resource material that can be used in all NSTP classes and partner communities of the Social Involvement Coordinating Office.
