Davao City – A total of 18 youths from all over southern and central Mindanao gathered in a 3-day workshop in Davao City for the Mindanao leg of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) regional Youth Media Summit.
The summit-media workshop was held from November 4 to 6 at Casa Maria’s Inn in Davao City. It carries the theme CRC 20 Na: Ano na? (CRC now 20, how is it?)
The summit was held in the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the United Nations’ Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC). The summit-workshop was for participants who are members of different youth media organizations — print, video and radio — to produce various communication advocacy outputs related to CRC.
According to Angela Travis, UNICEF director for communications, UN-CRC is still a fairly young convention and while it has achieved gains for children all over the world, many are still unaware or ignorant of the convention.
