WeatherPhilippines Foundation has signed a memorandum of agreement with Knowledge Channel Foundation with the aim of promoting disaster resilience and instilling the #WeatherWiser mindset in today’s young generation.
The new partnership will benefit selected public schools nationwide under the Knowledge Channel’s Learning Effectively through Enhanced Pedagogies (LEEP) program. WeatherPhilippines’ educational videos and weather information will be used as teaching materials as well as content in Knowledge Channel’s online learning portal – www.knowledgechannel.org and YouTube channel.
WeatherPhilippines was organized to empower communities to optimize weather knowledge in making informed decisions for disaster resilience. In this partnership with Knowledge Channel, we are hoping to get more leverage so that we’ll continue with our mission of making communities safer, sustainable, and empowered.

With this collaboration with WeatherPhilippines, we will be able to bring to the teachers a better way of teaching and processing weather information. We are also looking forward to sharing this to our student beneficiaries, to make them realize that there is a career in this kind of industry.

WeatherPhilippines will also conduct training for Knowledge Channel’s team and beneficiaries to facilitate a better understanding of weather terminologies.
