Golden Paddlers celebrate World Water Day with clean up campaign, seminar

Steadfast in its commitment to environmental sustainability, Caraga State University (CSU) led the Ampayon Creek Cleanup and Seminar in observance of the World Water Day on March 22, 2025.

In line with the WWD theme: “Synergizing Water and Waste: Advancing a Human-Centered Circular Economy for Resilient and Regenerative Systems,” the activity aimed to promote waste management awareness, water conservation, and community engagement for environmental protection. 

It also aligns with the established partnership of CSU, Barangay Ampayon, and DENR Caraga for the Adopt-an-Estero Program, with the Memorandum of Agreement signed in November 2024, which shares the responsibility in the restoration, conservation, and sustainable management of Ampayon Creek, which flows through the university.

Various academic and student organizations participated, including the National Service Training Program and Environmental Science students, CSU-NSRC Emergency Response Team, and CSU-Caraga Environmental Advocates Society.
