I-PICTL2026

I-PICTL is an international program focused on teaching and learning innovation. It has gained significant recognition among public and private universities, teacher training Institutes, and international educational institutions.

Organized by CADe-Lead, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) I-PICTL has been held annually for six consecutive years, from 2018 to 2025. Initially a national-level event, I-PICTL expanded to an international program in 2020, attracting participation from institutions worldwide.

SULAM@UPM CARNIVAL 2026

The Service-Learning (SULAM@UPM) Carnival 2026 is scheduled to take place on 14-15 September 2026, bringing together participants from higher education institutions (HEIs) across Malaysia. This carnival aims to strengthen the High-Impact Educational Practices (HIEP) approach by integrating academic teaching with community service, aligning with efforts to position HEIs as significant agents of social change.

SULAM, as one of the key strategies of the Department of Higher Education (JPT), emphasizes active student engagement in solving community issues using the knowledge and skills acquired through the curriculum. This carnival will serve as a platform to highlight the impact of SULAM projects in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering holistic community development.
