November 17, 2023 - Bumisita sa Quezon City University - Center for Urban Agriculture and Innovation (QCU-CUAI) para sa kanilang lakbay-aral sa Quezon City University - San Bartolome Campus bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng buwan ng mga bata ng Quezon City 2023.

Bilang bahagi ng pagpapakilala sa Sustainable Urban Agriculture Practices and Activities ng unibersidad, nagtungo rin sila sa QCU-Center for Urban Agriculture and Innovation. Ang mga bata ay binigyan ng praktikal na instruksyon sa mga detalye ng paggawa ng potting mix bilang bahagi ng kanilang pagsasanay sa mga pamamaraan ng urban farming sa pangunguna ng mga out-of-school youth group na SAGIP OSY na sinanay rin ng QCU-CUAI upang magbahagi ng kaalaman sa agrikultura.

Ang aktibidad na ito ay ginawa upang itaas ang kaalaman ng mga kabataan sa kahalagahan ng agrikultura at himukin sila na pag-unlad nito. Ang agrikultura ay isa sa mahalagang sektor ng ekonomiya na dapat ipagpatuloy ng susunod na henerasyon.

Ang Quezon City University (QCU), sa pakikipagtulungan sa QC Public Employment Service Office (PESO), ang nag-organisa ng "Lakbay Aral ng mga Batang Malaya" noong Nobyembre 17, 2023, sa QCU San Bartolome Campus, na may temang “Discovering Bright Horizons: A Journey of Hope.” Animnapung (60) batang taga-QC ang unang nakaranas sa mga reyalidad ng trabaho.

Ayon kay Dr. Theresita V. Atienza na presidente ng QCU sa kanyang pambungad na pahayag sa pasimula ng programa, ang mga kabataang nagsimulang magtrabaho nang maaga ay maaaring gamitin ang kanilang mga karanasan bilang "pasimula" patungo sa mas magandang kinabukasan. Hinihimok ni Dr. Atienza ang mga ito, "Huwag kang susuko sa pagsusumikap na tapusin ang iyong pag-aaral."
