TWO third year Mass Communication students from Cebu Institute of Technology had the privilege of joining a workshop sponsored by Probe Media Foundation Inc., in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration.
Ainjeliz dela Torre and John Philip Cuevas, who are from the pioneering batch of the Mass Communication program in CIT, were picked to represent Cebu among other third year applicants from different colleges and universities.
They spent three days at Richmonde Hotel in Pasig City together with two other students from the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas Cebu College; eight from Manila, representing UP Diliman, Assumption College, Polytechnic University, Trinity University of Asia; four from Laoag, representing Northwestern University, Divine Word College-Laoag; four from Davao, representing Holy Cross of Davao, University of the Immaculate Concepcion; and four from Zamboanga, representing Ateneo de Zam-boanga and Western State University.
The “You Move: Filipino Youth and Migration” media and arts workshop was a program for university students and tackled on understanding issues on migration--a process of moving across an international border, within a state or any population movement whatever its length, composition or cause.
Output
The program included talks, discussions and activities, field work wherein the students chose ways to present, on the last day of the workshop, an output on migration through print, film, documentary or advertisement.
Other than the activities held in Manila, the participants will produce an output on migration in their chosen form of production and will present it in the three-day closing workshop in Manila in August.
The mini-projects which were presented in Manila could be seen on www.Probetv.com.
