An Introductory Course on Community-Centered Connectivity Initiatives (CCCIs) and Social Entrepreneurship, organized by the Institute for Social Entrepreneurship in Asia (ISEA), in partnership with the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSEnt), was held on February 20, 2025 at Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City.

CVISNET Foundation, Inc., identified by ISEA as one of the CCCIs in the Philippines, was represented by Ms. Glyndell Monterde, CVISNET Project Manager. The program focused on the Asia-Pacific region and communities, particularly the underserved areas which lack reliable internet connections. It involved lecture discussions and live cases with practitioners and organizations who have initiated community-centered connectivity, intending to connect the CCIS with social entrepreneurship and social enterprises and generate interest to become CCCI practitioners and advocates.

With the international and local connectivity initiatives working hand-in-hand, a digitally inclusive nation for every Filipino is at hand.
