EAI Philippines officially welcomes the third batch of Peace Promotion Fellows composed of seven teams from BARMM and Region 12. Now, as they are starting their project implementation, join us as we look back at their first highlight as #peacefellows— during the three-day Orientation Camp at Duka Bay, Misamis Oriental last August 2022. Successful applicants joined the camp to improve their project proposals, learn more about project management and resource mobilization, and develop strategies to amplify their project’s focus and narratives. -- The Peace Promotion Fellowship is a premiere #youth development program for young community leaders who are passionate and committed to peacebuilding, transforming extremism, and positive #socialchange. The program supports outstanding candidates aiming to co-create innovative and sustainable peace solutions to address challenges faced by their communities. #PPF #OURmindaNOW #EqualAccessPH

This Peace Consciousness and National Teachers' Month, we recognize the roles of our teachers in the peace promotion and values-formation of our future leaders in the community. EAI Philippines' Communities & Schools Leading in the Fight against Terrorism (CS-LIFT) Project, now on its Phase 2 implementation, engages another batch of schools and teachers in the roll-out of the 12-session modules integrated into Grade 10 - Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (Values Education) subject. This is part of CS-LIFT's education-based behavior change intervention for VE (violent extremism)-vulnerable communities and schools in BARMM and Region 12. On July 25-29, CS-LIFT-trained Phase 1 teachers gathered for the field testing results integration and follow-up review of the toolkit used in the pilot testing from the school year 2021-2022. An additional 28 teachers from 14 schools in BARMM and Region 12 underwent a 3-day CS-LIFT training in preparation for the Phase 2 roll-out. Check out the summary video, and see how our teachers work with us in the fight against terrorism, and peace promotion in Mindanao. #CSLIFT #OURmindaNOW #EqualAccessPH
CS-LIFT Field Testing Results Integration & Training of Teachers
Equal Access International launched a toolkit on Preventing Violent Extremism and Countering Terrorist Ideology for Grade 10 students, starting with seven schools in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and SOCSKSARGEN Region. This is in response to the phenomenon where over the last 6 years, an increasing number of recruitments by groups with links to the Islamic State (IS) have reportedly surfaced in educational settings, including high schools, using social media and interpersonal interactions, according to recent researchers. This toolkit is a key component of the project entitled “Communities and Schools Leading the Fight Against Terrorism (CS-LIFT)” which started in October 2020, in partnership with the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE)-BARMM and the Department of Education - Region 12. Watch this video and know how our partner schools paved the way in leading towards the attainment of the project's goals of building peaceful communities and shaping resiliency among the students against the threats of violent extremism and terrorism. #CSLIFT #OURmindaNOW #EqualAccessPH
