A public service activity for Palaca- Damilisan National High School, Miagao, Iloilo | June 5- 7, 2023
TOGETHER FOR BLUE: THE YOUTHS FOR A BETTER MARINE ENVIRONMENT
"One is never too young to make a difference."
The UP Visayas Institute of Fisheries Policy and Development Studies trained 40 selected grade 7-10 students of Palaca-Damilisan National High School as Blue Eco-Warriors during the training-workshop on Sea for Life: Empowering the Youth as Blue Eco-Warriors on June 5-7, 2023.
This program aims to raise the youths’ awareness and understanding about sustainability of the marine/coastal resources and the environment as a whole that in effect will positively affect and change their behavior towards nature. This is also an avenue to engage the youths to participate in programs that will give them the opportunities to grow, use their knowledge, voices and leadership abilities to spread awareness and be change-makers in their community.
Using Behavior Centered Design for Teens, they were able to create solutions to various concerning issues they have identified in their community. The activity was a success with the expertise and help of Mr. Fel Ceasar Cadiz, Director for Capacity Exchange and Learning, Rare Philippines and with the support from the UPV Ugnayan ng Pahinungod/Oblation Corps headed by its Director Farisal U. Bagsit.
Thank you very much Rare Philippines & UPV Ugnayan ng Pahinungod/Oblation Corps for the unwavering support. Looking forward for more collaborations in the future in achieving sustainable engagement in fisheries development and management.
