The 2nd East Asian Seas (EAS) Youth Forum, one of the major side events of the EAS Congress 2009, is fast coming. It's about the second convening of young participants from countries in the EAS Region, the first of which was during the 2006 EAS Congress. The Forum is a venue for young people in the region to learn more about pressing concerns in the marine and coastal areas, including climate change. It also hopes to strengthen the role of the youth in addressing these issues by providing them with some practical skills that they can apply when they go back to their own countries. The Forum will be divided into four major sub-themes: inform, inspire, involve, empower; adopted from the past YF's core principle, I3 = E.
Inspiring the youth to act, to get involve and to be empowered would mean molding them into a better personality with high self-esteem, self-confidence and self-understanding of what they can be capable to. Molding them into a better individual may be started from boosting their talents. This has to do with the psychological and social building of one's personality. and why are talking about this? Well the answer is simple, Youth especially those in rural areas has less convincing power and oftentimes, if not most of the times, shy and naive. If the youth and children have that confidence, social recognition and maybe fame it would be easier for them to inform, inspire, and involve people to act for changes.
We in ANAKBALAYAN is so happy that one youth participant in the first EAS Youth Forum, Ms. Cris Evert Lato, is indeed applying the EAS Youth Agenda 2006. Below are his brother's HENDRIX GIL LATO's Artwork.
