During the orientation, the participants were introduced to the main goal of the program and the possible activities they could join in according to their skill sets. The facilitators also conducted an initial assessment of the participants' skills that they wish to enhance, harness, and develop.
The said programs will be designed by the YFPM PUKAW and will be linked to possible partners that will help in their implementation.
The Orientation, Data Gathering, and Engagement is only the first of the several programs of the "Youth Hub for Peace" which aims to address conflicts within the SPMS Box by cultivating the youth as peace advocates and harnessing their potential to become productive individuals.
It is also designed to cater to the graduates of the Youth Leadership Summit organized by the YFPM PUKAW Inc., and different battalions of the 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division, Philippine Army to provide an avenue where the youth could participate in building peace and resilient communities.
