Mandala workshop for Muslim-Christian Youths of Tala, Caloocan (Nov.13, 2010)



On November 13, 2010 (Saturday) The Peacemakers' Circle Foundation, Inc. conducted its third session on the Strengthening Interfaith Youth Leadership Training for grassroots youths of Tala, Caloocan City under the URI Bowes Award Program.

As part of the 10-session training for the 30 members of the Muslim-Christian Youths for Peace and Development (MCYPD) a Mandala-writing workshop was conducted by NanaMaru member, Orlan de Guzman, Jr. of Mandala Peace Arts Initiative.

It was probably the first time ever in the Philippines that a group of about 15 Muslim youths (joined by Christians) were engaed in the Mandala-writing peace art activity.

They all enjoyed the activity and expressed interest in continuing to make more written Mandalas after the wrokshop.
