THE CAVITE State University partnered with the Northern Illinois University for the implementation of culturally based project in June next year.

A memorandum of agreement was signed between the official of the two universities last month.

CvSU said the partnership will facilitate the implementation of the College of Arts and Sciences’ project titled “Demonstrating and AdvaNcing AcquiSition of Tagalog through Coffee Education” or “DANAS Tagalog Project.”

Under the agreement, CvSU will receive $48,240 from NIU as a grant subrecipient to host the intensive training of 15 US scholars on language and identity, language and Filipino family, language and community and language and experiences.

“Cultural immersion in various historical sites in Cavite and neighboring places like Laguna, Corregidor Island, and Manila will also be implemented through the said project to serve as open and onsite spaces for language and cultural appreciation,” CvSU said.

“DANAS Tagalog Project is a subcomponent of NIU’s The Philippines Coffee and Carabao Culture and Language: Tagalog Language Immersion in Northern and Southern Rural Philippines program funded by the United States Department of Education – Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad,” it added.
