COURSE DESCRIPTION :
The course aims to equip the students in the BEED program a strong background in
local history and culture. This background serves as an avenue for further inquiry of the
available resources in the community for the localization and contextualization of
teaching of elementary subjects. Areas to be studied include natural heritage of the
locality, tangible and intangible culture that are of great significance to the socio-
economic and political activities of the people in the place. In the end they are expected
to come up with the profiling of available cultural resources in the community.
