PARTNERSHIPS & OPPORTUNITIES
Open Call for the KULAY TAGUMPAY CULTURAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The Kulay Tagumpay Cultural Fellowship Program, initiated by the I Love Santa Cruz Collective, is a dynamic cultural exchange initiative designed to foster cross-cultural understanding, community engagement, and sustainable development in Santa Cruz, Marinduque. The program invites non-Marinduque residents, particularly college students and young professionals, to become cultural envoys and champions of community empowerment through joint endeavors that aspire to introduce and promote to the broader Philippine society the innovative community development initiatives and public-private sector collaborations in Santa Cruz, Marinduque.
The Fellowship Experience
Selected Kulay Tagumpay Fellows will undergo three phases of Fellowship activities culminating in a week-long all-expense paid travel and stay in Santa Cruz during the height of the town's cultural activities - the Moriones Lenten Rites coinciding with the Catholic Holy Week.
Local Community Familiarization Webinars and Online Conversations
Kulay Tagumpay Cultural Fellows will be asked to attend online sessions to dialogue with local community organizers and champions of sustainable development initiatives to understand the opportunities and challenges faced by participating sectors.
Conduct of a Fellow's Initiative to Support Santa Cruz Community Projects
As the Fellow's contribution to the promotion of Santa Cruz-based initiatives, each Fellow will be asked to implement in their respective communities a support project (with a fund-raising or familiarization component).
