ANDA, Bohol, March 16 (PIA)— In
response to the call for education as that which helps Bohol attain its
progress, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) brings in student skills trainings
to Candabong National High School (CNHS) in time for the HEAT-IT Caravan in
Anda, recently.
Aspiring young writers, about 18 of
them from Grades 7 to fourth year, gathered at the school’s Computer Room, to
learn about the basics of News-writing, do it and be critiqued of their work.
The same group, now joined by school
paper advisers then delved into the basics of photography and photojournalism,
the basics of the digital camera and tips on taking good media-presentable
shots as well as the basics of photo captioning.
The short course also included a
practicum on picture and photo coverage, photo captioning, minor desktop
editing, cropping photographs, and preparing photo releases.
School principal Zita Amora said she
appreciated the government for offering the free training to their students who
have gone to several annual press conferences with barely enough
training.
The training workshops is PIA-Bohol’s
contribution to Capitol’s Health, Agriculture, Education, Tourism and
Information Technology (HEAT-IT) service caravan which was designed to bring
government services to the communities.
The training is also part of
PIA-Bohol’s Leadership Enhancement Training Seminar (LETS) workshops
designed to help students earn better skills in schools.
PIA has been offering its LETS
workshops in schools and in previous caravans all over Bohol.
Aside from the LETS Media skills
workshops, PIA also has training seminars for Livelihood Enhancement, Tourism
and related services as well as Arts, Sports and Theater skills.
