UNAWA TAYO - Together in Achieving Youth Organizations
-
- Salud y forma física
Unawa is a Filipino word that means "to understand". When it comes to Filipino youth wellness and mental health, there's not a lot that's understood. Created as a collab with Heart of YEG, join us as we explore various themes to understand these uncharted waters and break down the stigma surrounding it.

Episode 9 - Filipino Education is in Trouble
…at least where we are. Last episode we talked about how much the Filipino language impacts our lives. This episode, we hear the impact earlier Filipino immigrants had as Tita Josie tells how she helped build a province-wide Filipino language curriculum FROM SCRATCH which was eventually certified by the government. Plus, learn about some Filipino language resources you might’ve never heard of. Currently, though, Filipino education is in trouble since many significant obstacles threaten its growth. Despite this, our awesome guests aren't backing down and are looking for more people to rise above the challenge – including, perhaps, you.

Episode 8 - How Learning T̶a̶g̶a̶l̶o̶g Filipino Goes Further Than You Think!
Wait, Tagalog and Filipino aren’t the same? Should I learn more even if I already know the language? Inspired by some viewer feedback, we’ve brought in four Filipino teachers (with a touch of banter) to clear things up on this common misconception and discover how much language can influence our broader lives – even our own mental health and wellness.

Episode 7 - The Original Asian ft. Allia de Grano
"The Original Asian" sounds like a cool nickname until you learn about the dark history surrounding it. In this episode of UNAWA, we’re joined by Allia de Grano – current communications & design director of Philsa – who recalls her distressing experiences as she grew up in a small Alberta town. We also talk about the rise of Asian hate crimes that spiked during the pandemic and how we can all #stopasianhate along with ending other racist acts individually and as a community – no matter how small the action is.
