HISTORY
Festival Workshop 2000
is the third and final workshop of a series organized under the Southeast
Asia Case Writing Project (SEA-CWP). This project is a regional expansion
of a similar undertaking in 1995 that produced “Seeds of Hope,” a
book on CBCRM practices in the Philippines.
The first Festival Workshop
was held in Hue, Vietnam in April 1998 where the identified partner agencies
conceptualized the framework of their case studies. The second Festival
Workshop followed closely on August 24-28 in Laguna, Philippines wherein
writers underwent training-exercises on case study writing.
THE
ORGANIZERS
This activity is mainly
sponsored by the Coastal Resources Research Network (CoRR) in cooperation
with the CBCRM Resource Center. Both are academic research institutions
that have been involved in CBCRM practice for some time. CoRR
is based at the Lester Pearson International of the Dalhousie University
in Canada, while the CBCRM-RC (Community Based Coastal Resource Management
Resource Center) is attached to the College of Social Work and Community
Development of the University of the Philippines.
THE
WORKSHOP SITE
Participants will be
housed at the Bolinao Marine Laboratory (BML) in the coastal town of Bolinao,
Pangasinan some 150 km north of Metro Manila. The BML is a station
and laboratory managed by the University of the Philippines - Marine Science
Institute. Its waterfront faces Lingayen Gulf, one of the few remaining
rich bio-diverse ecosystems that has been the focus of various resource
management programs in the past decade.
Except for the festivities
during the first day which will be held at the scenic Cangaluyan Island,
a 15-minute boatride offshore, all the workshop and plenary sessions will
held at the BML.
All participants are
encouraged to bring their beachwear. However, we also strongly advise
on taking along your rain gear. The weather at this time of year
is variable.
OBJECTIVES
The Festival Workshop
2000 was organized in support of the goals of the SEA Case Writing Project.
The main objective of
the project is to advance CBCRM practice by documenting and learning from
the community-based and participatory approaches used by selected non-
government organizations (NGOs), people’s organizations (POs) and academic
and research institutions involved in sustainable development efforts in
coastal communities in the Southeast Asian region.
The specific objectives
of the project are:
1. to enhance sharing
of CBCRM practices in the region and deepen theoretical
perspectives on CBCRM;
2. to document
and disseminate the experiences and draw lessons that
may be useful in
addressing similar situations;
3. to assess and
refine the methods, strategies and approaches used in
CBCRM programs among
coastal managers in NGOs and POs, academics
and policy makers in the region;
4. to identify possible
areas of collaboration to help strengthen existing
CBCRM programmes in the region.
An added attraction
to the culminating workshop will be a cultural festival that
will gather CBCRM advocates and fisherfolk communities of Lingayen
Gulf in a spirit of celebration and sharing. The festival will feature
the cultural wealth of fishing/coastal communities in the form of
song, dance, theater, and other traditional practices.
WHO
WILL PARTICIPATE?
The three-day Festival
Workshop 2000 will gather about 20 writers and institutional partners of
the SEA Case Writing Project from Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the
Philippines.
Around 30 other practitioners
and advocates of coastal resource management from various NGOs, fishers’
organizations, academic and research institutions, funding agencies and
government agencies have been invited to join.
The Festival Workshop
2000 is open to a limited number of interested individuals and institutions
who may want to attend as guest participants. A subsidized registration
fee of P 4,700 pesos (US$120) per guest participant will be charged.
This is inclusive of group transport to and from Metro Manila, food, accommodations
and materials.
