Dumaguete City (31 July) -- Around 20 student leaders from various high schools in Dumaguete City participated in the Orientation-Workshop on Child Participation over the weekend at Plaza Ma. Luisa Suites Inn.
Conducted by the Philippine Information Agency, the activity aimed to orient student leaders of their various participation rights and how to eventually build up awareness on the importance of children's participation in various arenas in the home, school, community and government.
The two-day workshop is an offshoot of an earlier trainor's training conducted by Unicef in Cebu City to develop the skills and capacities of identified adult and youth trainers in the Visayas area to effectively interact, educate and encourage youths and children to assert their rights as underlined under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, particularly their right to participate.
The said activity is spearheaded by PIA in coordination with the provincial government of Negros Oriental, the Sixth Country Programme for Children Provincial Communication Task Force and Unicef.
