Unified by a collective goal: to inspire and cultivate the next generation of leaders.
On May 11, 2024, the highest central student government of LPU Cavite, LYCESGO, hosted the highly anticipated LYCESGO Youth Summit 2024 at the university auditorium. The event gathered students from various schools across Cavite, unified by a collective goal: to inspire and cultivate the next generation of leaders. This annual summit, a cornerstone event for LPU-C, provided a vital platform for young individuals to embrace leadership roles and drive societal change.
Harnessing the potential of young minds to develop a group of future leaders capable of making positive contributions to their communities and the world was the overarching goal of the inclusive LYCESGO Youth Summit. The summit was centered on giving participants the inspiration and abilities necessary to lead, acknowledging the critical role that youth play in creating a better future.
The summit featured a series of engaging talks by distinguished guest speakers, each bringing their unique perspectives on leadership and personal growth:
The first talk was about “Resilience and Adversity: Stories of Young Leaders.” Val Patrick P. Dela Rea captivated the audience with powerful stories of young leaders who have triumphed over adversity. His emphasis on resilience as a cornerstone of effective leadership resonated deeply, offering valuable lessons for aspiring leaders.
Marianne Dimaculangan-Beatriz, the next speaker, was assigned to the topic, Youth Leadership Development: Strategies and Programs for Nurturing Leadership Skills Among Young Individuals. She had spoken about doable tactics and initiatives designed to help young people gain leadership abilities. Her talk provided practical insights that emphasized the value of organized leadership development and training.
Lastly, the talk was all about “Taking the Lead at the Lykeion.” Vincent Cortiñas presented an insightful overview of the Lyceum of the Philippines University. Highlighting the history or background of LPU's founder, diverse course offerings, advanced facilities, scholarship programs, awards, and accreditations, he provided a comprehensive introduction to what makes LPU a premier choice for higher education.
But the goals of the summit went beyond just informative talks. It aimed to:
Motivate and Inspire: The guest speakers' experiences served as invaluable lessons, lighting a fire in aspiring leaders like us.
Promote Diversity and Inclusion: We believe leadership roles and decisions should be a reflection of our diverse community. The summit encouraged inclusivity in leadership.
#ChooseLPUCavite: The event aimed to introduce LPU's strengths and offerings to students who may not be familiar with what we have to offer. Hopefully, many will be convinced to join the LPU Cavite family!
Student Leader Snowball Effect: By marketing LPU to student leaders, we created a network of individuals who will share their learnings and experiences with their peers, multiplying the impact of the summit.
The LYCESGO Youth Summit 2024 was a huge success. All felt inspired, in control, and prepared to assume leadership positions after the event. It is now our moment to take charge, seize the opportunities, and transform into the change we wish to see in the world. Stay tuned, Lyceans, because the future of leadership starts with us!
