WHY SCLC ACS?
SCLC ACS is the first UAE based sociocultural lifestyle humanities and recreatives consultancy and studies company. Our passion is to answer modern society's need for human connections while reviving and centering on societal characteristics, values, and moral commitments as foundations.
In the heart of the bustling UAE, where cultures converge and innovation thrives, SCLC ACS (SocioCultural Lifestyle Consultancies, Administrative Consultancy & Studies) as the first sociocultural awareness and positive societal and lifestyle values integrated training and consultancy studies company stands as a beacon of relevance in today's modern and fast-paced society.
SCLC Sociocultural Lifestyle Consultancy is more than a company and an organization; it's a movement towards a more connected world. Through our unique Productive Intercultural Engagements (PIE) approach and cultural discovery series’, we strive to create positive personal and social impacts globally.
As we embark on this transformative journey, we proudly begin with
presenting the Filipino Okir Cultural Segment—a teaser from our
intercultural competency and discovery series not for mere entertainment
but as an evocative expression, introducing the world to the profound
beauty and values embedded in our roots as compassionately empathic
humans with respect and true appreciation for each other.
The Okir project, in the same vision as for all other cultures, is a subliminal
call for a return to Filipino identities and values, reintroducing strength and
to the communities we coexist with.
It echoes the sentiment that understanding one another begins with
knowing and cherishing ourselves first. Understanding, appreciation and
valuing self worthiness for ourselves and towards others.
Unveiling our joint intercultural discovery methods and series is just the beginning and not the totality. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey—a journey that begins with exploring and appreciating our different roots and extends to bringing sustainably positive and attainable intercultural collaborative values to societies worldwide. Together, let's celebrate the beauty of all of our uniquely rich and varied cultural identities, and build a world where connectivity knows no bounds.
My journey as an expat mother of differently abled children began with a profound realization – the undeniable impact of sociocultural dynamics on individual lives and business success.
