IWRMC conducts workshop on hygiene and sanitation

The Integrated Water Resources Management Council conducted a Creative Workshop on Information, Education, Campaign Materials for Hygiene and Sanitation, at Bethel Guesthouse, Dumaguete City, Friday.

It was participated in by different artists in the performing and visual arts, representatives from schools and universities, and the private sector.

Judith Alpuerto of the Provincial Planning and Development Office said, the training formed a core group who will do the education module for elementary and secondary levels.

The artists created comic  strips  for  the module  and a musical   campaign  on hygiene  and  sanitation, she added.

Organizers envision that that children and students will become aware of the importance of water preservation and sanitation.  The education module may be included  in  the  school  curriculum  when classes open    in  June.

The  IWRM Council  is  a  project assisted  by  the  German  Technical Cooperation for  the Integrated Water  Resources Program, in Negros Oriental, Alpuerto said. 

The GTZ assistance on wastewater and sustainable sanitation in the Philippines  will end in 2009, she added.*MA
