This project is a one-day national academic conference bringing together undergraduate students and professors to present secular research under the theme “Discarding God: Values in a Worldview Without Religion”. Up to 15 selected undergraduate presenters will deliver papers following a nationwide blind review process, with their research subsequently published on HAPI’s website. The event will establish a dedicated academic sub-organization, HAPI Philosophy of Humanism, to sustain ongoing engagement among emerging secular scholars.
Problem/Issue:
The Philippine academic landscape lacks dedicated secular platforms for undergraduate research, isolating young non-religious scholars and weakening the movement’s intellectual foundations.
No. of Beneficiaries: 7,823
Impact:
The conference will directly engage over 100 participants, recruit at least 15 undergraduate presenters into the new HAPI philosophy of Humanism sub-organization, and publish research articles online to build HAPI’s academic credibility in university circles.
