With its untouched and precious natural resources, Apayao is dubbed as the last nature frontier in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in the Philippines. But this territory, and the rights of the Indigenous peoples who live here, are at risk.

Over the years – through over 250 collaborations with communities defending their rights in the context of international investments and development activities – we have experimented with different modalities on how to be together and learn together. We are excited to articulate below some of the collective learning processes that our collaborators are finding helpful.
