Dana Raissa de Guzman talks about the Global Classroom Program at Peace Tech along with its aims and challenges.

Dana Raissa de Guzman speaks about the Global Classroom Program which connects students in Manila with students in Mindanao, Philippines via skype conferences. Peace Tech relies heavily on technology therefore there are occasions when classes have to be conducted offline due to power or internet connection problems. Most of the students in Manila are Christians, while the majority of students in Cotabato are Muslims. Initially the students were shy to interact with one another but overtime they formed strong bonds with each other.
 

Potre Diampuan speaks about how she started her journey into the world of interfaith dialogue as well as moments of solidarity and how interfaith interactions evolved for her over time.

Potre Diampuan is a Muslim who grew up in a Christian neighbourhood. Growing up in such an environment is what got her started in the world of interfaith. She recalls an experience of solidarity from the 1970s when she assisted in protecting a gas station owned by Christian neighbours during a period in which martial law was declared. She also fondly speaks about Priests from her community who throughout the years have become like close members of her family.
