Through films, sounds, and videos, we can see and hear the stories of different communities, languages, and traditions. They show the worldโs rich culture and diversity. These are not just old materials, but they are living memories of peopleโs creativity, strength, and shared experiences. Keeping these archives safe helps us remember who we are.
Did you know?
Every 27th of October, the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is observed globally to highlight the urgent need to preserve films, sound recordings, TV/radio archives, and other audiovisual documents.
The date marks the day in 1980 when UNESCO adopted the โRecommendation for the Safeguarding and Preservation of Moving Imagesโ.
In 2025, the day reaches a 20th anniversary milestone and the theme is themed as a โwindow to the worldโ, recognizing how audiovisual heritage connects us across time, geography, and culture.
You can help by digitizing your old recordings, watching a restored film, or simply sharing your favorite historical clip today!

[…]The Benguet State University’s International Relations Office attended the EduCanada Pathways to Partnerships and the Canadian Colleges and Institutes Fair, a partnership-building event featuring Canadian colleges, institutes, and Polytechnics, and an Education Fair to explore study opportunities in Canada, held at the Fairmont Hotel, Makati City, on October 19-20, 2025.
#BenguetStateUniversity, #BSUtotheWorld, #EduCanada, #SDG17
[…]The training workshop was a week-long event, which took place at the Bioproduction and Machinery Laboratory, University of Tsukuba, led by Dr. Tofael Ahamed. The training was aimed at creating low-cost smartphone-based solutions to monitor plant health through the use of canopy imaging and a deep learning-based solution. This initiative supports Benguet State Universityโs (BSU) ongoing project to develop a user-friendly mobile application that will help local cabbage and potato farmers assess crop nutrient requirements and optimize fertilizer application. The workshop covered key topics such as image preprocessing, deep learning fundamentals, mobile development, and website development. The participants were able to integrate the deep learning model in the mobile application and website, completing the prototype for the project’s nitrogen (N)-application advisory tool.
In addition to the week-long training, Dr. Pablo and Ms. Orencia also had the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Tsukuba Conference. The conference was in its fourth edition since its launch in 2019 and brings together scientists, innovators, and emerging leaders from around the world to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research. With this yearโs theme โGoing into New Frontiers with Society,โ the conference was focused on key areas such as space exploration, deep-sea research, brain science, nuclear fusion, and hydrogen energy. It also highlighted pressing issues and potential innovations relevant to the Global South, fostering collaboration toward sustainable and inclusive development. Among the plenary sessions attended by the BSU delegates were the Opening and Future Shapers Sessions, which gathered emerging scientists and leaders from various countries to discuss how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and data science can serve human needs rather than replace them. The project participants presented in the special session on โAI and IoT to Integrate Automation in Farm Management: A Path to Sustainable Agriculture,โ organized by Dr. Tofael. The BSU participants were able to engage with international experts from Malaysia, Taiwan, and Belgium who shared their research on digital tools for efficient farm management. These discussions are closely aligned with the BSU Precision Agriculture Projectโs vision of using accessible technology to help Benguet farmers make informed fertilizer decisions and improve yield quality.
The visit concluded with a benchmarking activity at the Tsukuba Plant Innovation Research Center and other research facilities that showcased Japanโs advancements in agricultural engineering, sustainable farming, and precision crop management.
Impact on Sustainable Development Goals
The projectโs focus on using technology to optimize fertilizer use and improve crop yields directly contributes to the United Nationsโ Sustainable Development Goals:
#SDG2 (Zero Hunger) by improving productivity and economic profitability of staple crops to enhance local food security; #SDG9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by integrating artificial intelligence and mobile development into the agricultural sector; and #SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting the optimized use of fertilizer to minimize waste and environmental pollution, ensuring more sustainable farming practices

[…]The digital world is a powerful tool, but only if you know how to use it. In todayโs digital world, literacy goes beyond reading and writing. Itโs the ability to spot fake news, communicate respectfully, think critically, share responsibly, and navigate the online world with purpose and care.
Digital literacy helps us learn, connect, and create. But it also challenges us to be responsible, thoughtful, and kind users of technology, making sure everyone can benefit from technology, without being left behind.
Today, let us commit not only to spreading literacy but also to building a smarter, safer, and more inclusive digital world for everyone.
