The conference gathered academics, researchers, and educators from various countries to discuss important issues in research and sustainable education.
The 7th Luminary International Conference aimed to connect the research community in social sciences, languages, law, and public relations to share best practices for equipping individuals, communities, and organizations with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to shape a sustainable future. The Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) collaborated with De La Salle University – Manila, Southeast Asia Research Center and Hub (SEARCH), Lumina Foundation for Integral Human Development, Inc., and Universitas Malikussaleh – Indonesia to organize the conference.
Dr. Porque’s research presentation is centered on the impact of school newspapers on student development across diverse educational levels. While Dr. Feliciano’s presentation had focused on youth awareness of the folk stories behind the barangays in Tacurong City. Presenting research at a conference allows researchers to share their work, receive feedback from experts, and improve their communication skills. It also enhances one’s academic reputation and university as a whole.
