Kamustahan with ACAP Learners

Our afternoon session focused on the Positive and Negative Effects of Social Media and Online Games on Children. Through an interactive discussion, our learners explored how digital platforms can be valuable tools for learning, creativity, and communication when used responsibly, while also recognizing the risks of excessive screen time, cyberbullying, online scams, gaming addiction, and exposure to inappropriate content.

To reinforce their learning, the learners expressed their insights through Slogan and Poster Making, creatively sharing messages that promote responsible digital citizenship and safe online behavior.

This session reminded our learners that social media and online games are not the enemy, the key is using them wisely, setting healthy limits, thinking critically, and making responsible choices online. By empowering children with digital literacy, we help them become safe, respectful, and responsible digital citizens who can maximize the benefits of technology while protecting themselves from its risks.

Kamustahan with ACAP Learners 💚♻️

A showcase of creative costumes designed and crafted collaboratively by each community using recycled materials. With the theme “Nutrisyon at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan: Wikang Filipino, Ating Pahalagahan,” this activity highlights that discarded materials still have value and can be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful.

Beyond showcasing creativity and environmental awareness, the activity also emphasized the importance of proper nutrition as the foundation of a healthy, active, and productive life. By promoting healthy eating habits alongside environmental responsibility, our learners were reminded that taking care of ourselves and caring for the planet go hand in hand.

Through creativity, teamwork, and sustainability, our learners proved that small actions can create a meaningful impact, both for our health and for the environment.

Gender-Sensitive Communication

Our parents gained valuable insights on using respectful and inclusive language, recognizing gender stereotypes, and fostering open communication at home. By learning to communicate with empathy and respect, they are better equipped to create a safe and supportive environment where every child feels valued and heard.

To welcome the new academic year, ACAP conducted its first *Kamustahan* session entitled “Ang Pagiging Responsableng Mag-aaral at ang Karapatan ng mga Bata." The activity provided learners with an opportunity to reflect on their responsibilities as students while deepening their understanding of children's rights.

The session was facilitated by the ACAP Child and Youth Rights Advocates Organization, whose members continue to champion children's rights and promote meaningful participation among young people.

As we begin another year of learning, may our students be guided by responsibility, respect, and a strong commitment to upholding the rights of every child.
