To promote cultural sustainability and support community-based creative industries, Partido State University (ParSU), through the Museo de Isarog, in partnership with the National Museum of the Philippines – Bicol and ParSU Remontados Student Organization, successfully conducted the 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞: 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐚 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 on October 27, 2025, at the ParSU Museo de Isarog. 

Bringing together faculty, students, and culture advocates, the workshop became a living classroom for rediscovering traditional crafts embodying local communities' creativity and resilience. Guests from the Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority, PhilCeramics, and Alemania Weavers shared their knowledge and techniques in sustaining these age-old crafts amid modern challenges.

Participants also engaged in hands-on activities such as pottery making and processing abaca for weaving, gaining firsthand appreciation of local heritage skills. 

Through this initiative, ParSU promotes learning, sustainable livelihoods, and cultural preservation—advancing SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
