The Importance of a Bayan Learning Group

This week in English class we discussed various activities we were going to do in order to introduce people to the Bayan Learning community Southwestern College offers and to show people the importance of adopting a learning community at school. We not only plan on reaching out to the Southwestern College student community but also to high school and middle school students who one day may be attending this school and may want to join this group in the future. This is a project we are doing as a class and are dividing the work into individual tasks.
We plan on doing this in a few different ways.  We plan on hosting and event on campus at the college that will attract SWC students to the Bayan community. We hope to be able to have musical entertainment and food and hope to have many people learn about the Filipino American based classes in a relaxed atmosphere. We are looking into going on campus to various middle and high schools to inform them of this group SWC offers and the importance of it.
I plan on using my experience in the class to reach the various audiences on a personal level. I hope to share my experiences with them and hopefully they’ll be able to relate to me. What I think is the most valuable thing I’ve taken from working with this Bayan group is the importance of having a group of peers at school or out of school who you can confide in and that you know will support you through your career, whether it be educational or not.
