Children performing their own proverbs
Children performing their own proverbs
What´s the
Given a combination of complex factors, the cultural identity of camiguenons remains silenced. Now days, it’s difficult to get access to it. The gap between the youth of Camiguin and their culture and tradition is one of the consequences. Sadly, the creativity of children is mainly deployed to imitate the trends coming from the outside, but not with the inside. Therefore, we believe in Kilaha there is a need to connect the youth and their own cultural legacy.
What´s the
The Proverb session project is an initiative of Picture People & Kilaha which aims to develop the youths of Camiguin sense of environmental understanding, well-being and empowerment using non-formal educative participatory processes of visual story-telling on the theme of local ‘Proverbs’, that specifically speak of local culture, the environment and overall life, so that they can become authors and producers of decisions that better affect them now, and into the future.
