Region 12 Comes Together for Peace: Local Government Academy Conducts Peace Wemboree in Rehiyon Dose
The Local Government Academy (LGA), in collaboration with Kahayag Foundation Inc. and DILG Rehiyon Dose successfully conducted the Peace Wemboree held on April 3-4, 2024 at the Farm @ carpenter Hill, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato.
The event brought together the youth of Sarangani and South Cotabato to promote peace, solidarity, and unity. It also featured significant topics from esteemed resource speakers and advocates for peace, highlighting the significance of the role of youth in building a culture of positive peace.
โWAR is the depletion of trust, kaya naman we must strive to become successful peacebuilders in our region. Again, being a successful peacebuilder, we must have these only 2 words in mindโhope and trust. If we have hope, we can act, but if we have trust, we can act together,โ Ms. Irene Santiago, the Founder of Kahayag Foundation and LGA Trustee, said during her welcome message.
The Peace Wemboree served as a platform for dialogue, understanding, and celebration of diversity. The youth actively engaged in a series of interactive workshops, discussions and peace-building activities aimed at fostering mutual respect and cooperation. Through open discussions and exchanges of ideas, participants explored innovative approaches to address social issues, promote inclusivity, and create pathways for sustainable development.
โLet us preserve the Peace WEmboree spirit in our hearts and thoughts as we bid our temporary good-bye to this group. Let's keep advocating for a better future, acting as peace ambassadors and peace builders in our communities, and acting as catalyst of change.โ DILG OIC-Regional Director Atty. Rochelle D. Mahinay-Sero said during the closing ceremony of the event.
This shared commitment serves as a beacon of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the pursuit of positive peace in the region. The Local Government Academy extended its gratitude to all participants, and the DILG Rehiyon Dose who contributed to the success of the Peace Wemboree.
