To highlight the IVY 2026, this project will initiate the IVS Innovation Simulation Competition demonstrating the four key principles of youth work (participation, empowerment, education and inclusion), the efficacy of non-formal learning, and how this adds value to school-based education, etc. It will set an example of youth advocacy on sustainability issues (SDGs), create exceptional opportunities for knowledge-sharing and intercultural learning.

Over the years, various government agencies have supported the development of coffee farming in Tuburan, culminating in its recognition as the coffee capital of Cebu. Presently, Tuburan Coffee sources beans from over 3,000 hectares of coffee small holdings spread across 29 barangays (villages), benefiting more than 2,000 local farmers from the town in the process. This initiative aimed to promote coffee farming as a more sustainable and lucrative livelihood for upland communities, offering an alternative to activities like charcoal production and firewood gathering, which have contributed significantly to deforestation. This development strategy of the Tuburan local government actively supports the synchronization and ecological balance of nature and human development.

Project hosted by

San Pio Village is a socialized housing community in Barangay Dumlog, Talisay City, Cebu, Philippines. It was developed to provide permanent and decent homes for poor families many of whom were once squatters, garbage scavengers, or living in dumpsite areas in Metro Cebu giving them a path out of extreme poverty and unsafe living conditions. It was initiated by missionaries and community development partners with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty for marginalized families. Habitat for Humanity sponsored many of the early houses. Management of the site was later taken over by JPIC-IDC (Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation i Integrated Development Center, Inc.), the social action arm of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) congregation. The JPIC-IDC Garden Re-invigoration Project is GIED s effort in providing support to JPIC as one of its Local Partner Institution (LPI) greatly affected by super typhoon Tino in November 2025.

Project hosted by

San Pio Village is a socialized housing community in Barangay Dumlog, Talisay City, Cebu, Philippines. It was developed to provide permanent and decent homes for poor families many of whom were once squatters, garbage scavengers, or living in dumpsite areas in Metro Cebu giving them a path out of extreme poverty and unsafe living conditions. It was initiated by missionaries and community development partners with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty for marginalized families. Habitat for Humanity sponsored many of the early houses. Management of the site was later taken over by JPIC-IDC (Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation i Integrated Development Center, Inc.), the social action arm of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) congregation. The JPIC-IDC Garden Re-invigoration Project is GIED s effort in providing support to JPIC as one of its Local Partner Institution (LPI) greatly affected by super typhoon Tino in November 2025. This initiative will focus on the restoration and revitalization of their community garden after it was devastated by the aftermath of the said typhoon.
