Discovery Camp Philippines – NiCE 2025: Information Session

NiCE 2025 (NEUST International Cultural Engagement) is a week-long cultural immersion program organized by the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), Philippines.

NiCE 2025 offers a unique platform for cultural discovery, global collaboration, and the promotion of sustainable practices aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Set against the vibrant backdrop of Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija—renowned as the “Rice Granary of the Philippines”—this immersive program embraces the theme “Diverse Connection through Culture and Experience.”

Through the program, participants will gain not only a deeper understanding of Filipino culture but also learn how these cultural insights are intrinsically connected to global issues such as sustainability, education, health, and responsible economic development. This experience will empower participants to take part in creating positive change in their own countries, promoting SDGs in both their academic and professional endeavors.

Apply to Host a Summer 2025 Discovery Camp

Discovery Camps are immersive intercultural experiences during the summer or winter months, typically lasting 7-10 days. 

The host institutions organize the content and pay for all in-country expenses (tuition, accommodation, meals, field trips, etc.), so that a wide range of students from around the UMAP consortium can attend. Discovery Camps enable UMAP member institutions and countries to showcase their countries and cultures to students from across the UMAP network.

Is your institution interested in applying to host a Discovery Camp? The hosting application is now open, with a deadline of December 13, 2025 for programs taking place in Summer 2025. Please use this link to access the application: https://forms.gle/aoCmFbAixLpfqRxA9
