Open Call for EDSA@39 Calendar of Events (VPMI Memo)

The Office of the Vice President for Mission Integration (OVPMI), in partnership with the Ateneo Martial Law Museum and Library (AMLML), welcomes activities and events from various clusters/subclusters, schools, departments, offices, student organizations, and other University-based groups for inclusion in the Ateneo de Manila University Calendar of Events for the Commemoration of the 39th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution this coming February 2025.

Our theme for EDSA@39 is: Sama-samang Pagtataya, Simula ng Panibagong Pag-asa.

We commemorate EDSA in the spirit of the Jubilee Year 2025 which sees hope as both a gift and a task. Then as now, our country and the world faced abuse of power, violence, injustices, and polarization. But many of our people responded not with despair but with stirring examples of self-giving that created spaces of hope through collective action.

These stories of personal calling, painstaking work, selfless service, and courageous commitment converged in a historic moment when our nation overcame differences and emerged victorious – profoundly witnessing to the gift of a saving God who is immersed in our lives and moving in history. This call to shared responsibility, commitment, and faith toward renewed hope in our liberation as a people is as real today as it was in the 1970s-1980s.

Let us know if you have activities and events planned for EDSA@39 along this theme by filling-out this Google form: https://go.ateneo.edu/EDSA39-events

Deadline for submission is on Friday, 14 February 2025.

Thank you and we look forward to your support and participation!
