An inspiring introduction to an alternative summer break that fosters empowerment and community involvement of Filipino youth through workshops, discussions, community immersion and cultural work will be on June 8; however courses will officially begin on June 16.
All current members of Anakbayan NJ are required to take these courses and experience a deeper level of mass work in their respective areas. However, anyone interested in learning more about Filipino culture, history, and revolution in a dynamic, interactive atmosphere is welcome (and encouraged) to join.
The program orientation will identify objectives, set ground rules, discuss the flow and content of the educational series, and provide an opportunity for participants to get to know each other.
The program will run from June to August, ending with a cultural event and a summer weekend retreat. It aims to equip the Filipino youth with basic organizing skills by instilling heightened political awareness and encouraging critical analysis of significant developments in the local, national and global scale guided by the National Democratic Line.
G.R.A.S.P. meets once a week. Dates are flexible and will be agreed upon every week in consideration of the majority of participants. The program content is as follows:
The next session will be on JUNE 15, 4:30 pm- 7:30pm. Venue TBA.
