The Generation Change Project
As a participant in the U.S. Embassy's Generation Change Project, I was enlightened by the topics discussed in the said event. The two day training held last April 24-25, 2012 in Davao City opened new perspective in my life. I have learned a lot by just listening to the speakers, participating and socializing with the other participants.
"The Generation Change Project is a youth-led global network dedicated to empowering the next generation of innovators and leaders. It provides a platform for the free exchange of ideas across borders and culture, and community of peers and mentors who use their collective resources to positively impact communities locally and globally. Generation Change conferences are being held in the United States and around the world, and this conference is designed to link the Philippines to the global project."
The 50 participants were divided into two groups: The Generation Change (leadership training) & The Social Media (Bloggers & Netizens). The event taught a lot, from awareness of issues, responsible Social Media advocacy, understanding and respecting other beliefs and culture, peace, and the right to communicate using Social Media like Facebook and Twitter.
