Village Connect
Hundreds of student leaders across the Philippines recently shared more than just a movie screening as Globe and Disney hosted simultaneous block screenings of Toy Story 5 in Clark, Bonifacio Global City, Dasmariñas, and Cebu City.
The nationwide event gathered student organization officers, youth advocates, campus influencers, and emerging leaders from various schools, creating a unique platform where entertainment became a catalyst for connection and collaboration.
While the highly anticipated film served as the main attraction, the gathering offered something deeper. Students from different academic institutions were given the opportunity to meet peers, exchange ideas, and build relationships beyond their respective campuses. The simultaneous screenings transformed cinemas into vibrant spaces where conversations about leadership, community engagement, and personal growth naturally unfolded.
The initiative reflects Globe and Disney’s continuing partnership in creating meaningful experiences that resonate with young audiences. Through storytelling, both organizations aim to inspire values such as resilience, teamwork, courage, and determination—qualities that are increasingly important for students navigating today’s fast-changing world.
Adding excitement to the event were interactive activities and raffle segments that rewarded attendees with exclusive merchandise and special prizes. Students also discovered how to maximize the benefits available through Globe Rewards, including student-friendly perks such as transportation credits, food and beverage discounts, coffee rewards, and free Timezone load offers through the GlobeOne app.
Beyond entertainment and rewards, Globe used the event to spotlight the Globe Student Program, an initiative designed to empower young leaders to create meaningful change within their schools and communities. Through the program, student organizations can propose projects and initiatives that address real-world challenges while gaining access to resources, mentorship, and opportunities that help bring their ideas to life.
The program reflects Globe’s broader commitment to supporting youth development by providing avenues for collaboration, innovation, and community-building. By connecting students with fellow changemakers and practical opportunities, Globe continues to strengthen its role as a partner in the growth of future leaders.
According to Globe Consumer Chief Marketing Officer Roche Vandenberghe, many impactful ideas begin within communities, and empowering student leaders with the right support can help turn those ideas into meaningful action.
As students left the cinemas carrying memories from the film and new connections formed throughout the day, the event demonstrated how shared experiences can inspire collaboration, encourage leadership, and strengthen communities.
Through initiatives that combine technology, storytelling, and youth engagement, Globe and Disney continue to create spaces where students can learn, connect, and discover new ways to make a positive impact both on campus and beyond.
