Workshop for Media on Reportage of Children Held in Cebu

Media practitioners from around the country recently gathered here for a three-day seminar-workshop on improving reportage of children.

The workshop was hosted by Plan International Philippines in cooperation with the Philippine Press Institute and Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP).

With the theme “Upping the Ante on Children Reporting”, the workshop aimed to help deepen media’s understanding of the concepts of child protection and positive and non-violent discipline for children.

This is part of Plan International’s initiative called the Collective Action to Promote Non-Violent and Protective Society for Children.

The project’s goals are to contribute to the protection of children from all forms of violence and to enhance the capacity of civil society and government to implement policies and strengthen programs prohibiting corporal punishment and bullying.

It is expected that after the seminar-workshop, the media will contribute to realizing the vision of a “protective and non-violent society for children.” (rmn/zmpc/PIA7-Cebu)
