BSU RAK Filipino Students Strengthen Cultural Identity and Global Citizenship

On 15 September 2026, Bath Spa University - RAK Campus Filipino students participated in a special lecture hosted by the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai on the 2016 Arbitral Award, UNCLOS, and the promotion of peaceful dialogue and international cooperation.

The activity provided students with a meaningful opportunity to deepen their understanding of Philippine maritime affairs while strengthening their connection to Filipino culture, national identity, civic awareness, and heritage. Beyond the lecture, students were also introduced to an essay-writing competition, encouraging them to reflect critically, express their perspectives, and engage more deeply with the themes of national identity, diplomacy, cooperation, and responsible citizenship.

For Filipino students studying in the UAE, the experience helped strengthen their sense of belonging and connection to their home country while developing greater global awareness and appreciation for diplomacy, peaceful engagement, and international collaboration.

The initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, through the promotion of global citizenship, cultural awareness, critical thinking, and experiential learning. It also contributes to SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions by strengthening students’ appreciation of peaceful international cooperation, diplomacy, and the rule of law, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through meaningful collaboration between BSU RAK and the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.

From cultural identity to critical thinking and global citizenship, BSU RAK continues to create student experiences that are inclusive, relevant, culturally enriching, and socially impactful.
