A TOTAL of 2,061 student leaders and youth advocates from across the country gathered in Dumaguete City for the Learners’ Convergence Philippines 2025.

This year’s LearnCon PH takes on a more transformative approach through its integration with the National Career Expo Kick-Off for School Year 2025–2026.

These activities aim to help students build leadership and decision-making skills while connecting them with industry, business, and school partners to explore future career opportunities.

The four-day event also features leadership workshops, innovation labs, and dialogue sessions designed to empower students as active partners in shaping their school communities.

“Dito ninyo maipapahayag ang inyong mga saloobin tungkol sa mga isyung panlipunan, makapagpapresenta ng inyong mga proyekto, at makikilahok sa mga workshop, thematic sessions, at Project Pitching Exercises. Gamitin ninyo ang pagkakataong ito para magtanong, makinig, at magbahagi,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.

The Department of Education said LearnCon PH 2025 aims to affirm the youth’s role as “co-creators of an inclusive, empowered, and sustainable nation” by giving them a seat and a voice in shaping the country’s education and development agenda.
