LCDE, 2014 SUMMER YOUTH CAMP
SILAGO,
SOUTHERN LEYTE – From May 14-18, 2014 LCDE held a Summer Youth Camp in Silago
which aims to raise the awareness of participants on PLAN and LCDE’s project
through the activities’ theme of “Setting Direction for Development”.
Participants were youth from LCDE’s project areas in Silago aged 12 to 22. PLAN
Philippines and LCDE have been partners since 2012 implementing their project
entitled “Adaptation to Climate Change by Strengthening Natural Resilience” funded
and supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development.
The
Youth Camp began with post typhoon updates and was followed with activities such
as plays, community broadcast workshops, song writing, poetry, and visual arts,
where participants were given the choice of events to take part in. All these
were aimed to increase the awareness and capacity of youth to actively
participate in being advocates for climate change by developing various technical
and organizational skills which lasted for five (5) days.
Participants
were very grateful as not all of them are always given the opportunity to
engage in skill building activities. LCDE also provided expert facilitators
from DAWATAN Northern Samar Arts Council, Inc for theatrical activities, Young
Heart PLAN for videography, photography and song writing; and FARDEC a known
NGO based in Cebu that implements Food Security programs.
