City Central SPED caps journalism workshop

September 2014 - TAGBILARAN CITY –The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in Bohol completes the two day School-Based Training Workshop on Campus Journalism for Tagbilaran City Central School Special Program for Education (SPED) Center with four school journalism topics and workshops, Saturday, September 6.

The program was set for TCCS SPED Special Science Elementary School learners, the sole elementary science school in Bohol which prepares special modules to train young scientists.

Around 30 young writers and 6 advisers sat it out for grueling 8 hours of writing workshops to complete the course which started with feature writing and editorial writing as well as photojournalism and junior broadcasting handled by City Information Officer Fiel Angeli A. Gabin and ace lensman secondary school teacher Meljun Daniel.

The training seminar started August 30 with Gabin and Daniel while day two was September 6 with the PIA.

For day 2, the PIA handled News writing and Sports Writing which included its own separate writeshops and critiquing sessions in the morning, while the afternoon had Headline Writing and Copy Editing paired with Editorial Cartooning, which also bore its own writeshops and critiquing modules.

A mock press conference also happened to simulate the news details gathering and puts the writers in a mood for asking the right questions to generate the correct responses.

Jan Elvin Flor, who made the training design said the School-based Training Workshop said it has become an annual activity in the school especially for its SPED Special Science Program, with pupils clearly forcing a way to new skills as they venture into the nook of their capacities.

And to make the subjects even more relevant, the PIA used as its focus content in the writeshops, the environment in the light of climate change, a new shift in its advocacy for more awareness and community participation in mitigating its effects.

Participant Sophia Lorraine Aradanas said the training seminar gives them a new view of learning, using different resource persons other than the teachers they see every day. (PIABohol/RAC)
