Orientation
This session aims to provide students knowledge on the NSTP PLUS, its program objectives/rationale, processes, policies and guidelines, and the institution of community.
Skills Training
The session gives the students the opportunity to mentally, emotionally, and skillfully prepare for the community insertions.
Area Engagement
For each school year, the students are expected to engage with the communities they signed up for through their identified civic-oriented work for 20 days. Each day gives the students not only the opportunity to bond with the community but also render community service related to their specific component and/or discipline. Aside from the component-based services, activities also include the Community Entry Orientation, home visits, Christmas party, urban gardening, and culminating activity.
Feedback Session with Area Monitors
This activity is facilitated by the NSTP PLUS area monitors or coordinators during are engagements, and is held 15 minutes before departing from the area. It summarizes the day’s experiences and serves as a venue for students to share their realizations and concerns regarding their activities in the area.
Social Analysis
This small group session aims to define marginalization using the framework of basic needs and capability deprivation and to identify marginalization issues in the community in the context of basic needs and capability deprivation and utilize this as a tool for analysis and social involvement.
Recollection
The recollection provides students an opportunity for silence and solitude to see how one’s relationship and attitude is towards one’s neighbor and God. Students are invited to look at how one receives and welcomes Christ as a person, as a gift in one’s life, and reflect on the concrete ways one is invited to be Christ-like: a gift to one’s neighbor.
