Nowadays, many youths are disturbed because of the many issues they encounter in their family, school and peer. This symposium would let participants understand mental health wellness and how to cope up with it. A background of the Culture of Dialogue and introduction of the World Interfaith Harmony Week celebration was given to more than 700 students of Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology.
The activity aims to strengthen students’ core values on how to handle peer pressure and to learn more about they can transform themselves to be students with values that understand on how to Dialogue with God, Self, Others and Creation.
The activity started with the orientation on the mental health awareness and followed by the Culture of Dialogue presentation by Fr. Sebastiano D’Ambra, PIME. He also shared some input about the World Interfaith Harmony Week as well as its lined-up activities. One of the highlighted activities this year is the “Neighbor in Harmony”. This activity was done for 3 consecutive years, and this year the number of participating barangays and communities has increased, with the help of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
