Conservation of Laguna de Bay's Environment and Resources

10th CLEAR Youth Network Congress
              
  


      The CLEAR Youth Network Congress is the annual gathering of the CLEAR Youth Network as represented by Eco-Camp graduates and their groups that were formed in the schools and/or communities as a result of the Camp.  The Congress is a venue not just for reporting accomplishments and planning of yearly activities - more importantly, it is a platform for learning so that the youth network will continuously be equipped with new knowledge and practice in lake conservation.

The 10th CLEAR Youth Network Congress was attended by fifteen (15) CYN groups from various cities/municipalities around Laguna de Bay: Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Tanay, Binangonan, Los Baños, Pangil/Siniloan, Lumban, San Pablo, San Pedro, Mabitac, Rizal, Pila and Morong. It was held on 5 - 6 December 2015 at the Sierra Madre Resort in Tanay, Rizal. 

 

 

      The 10th CLEAR Youth Network Congress, with the theme “The Youth as Champions of Wetlands”, endeavored to recognize the contribution of the Youth in wetland conservation.  It highlighted activities implemented by the Youth over the past 10 years since the CLEAR Youth Eco-Camp and the Design Competition started to appreciate how these experiences have influenced the mindsets of the young in their homes, schools and work environment.

Specific Objectives:

1 To establish how the Eco-Camps and the Design Competition influenced the youth in their homes, schools and work environment.
2

To provide a venue for the CLEAR Youth Network for the exchange of ideas, information practices and activities on how to raise awareness on wetlands conservation.

 

 

 

 

 
         

       This year’s congress was different from the past years because it celebrated the Youth and their accomplishments for the past ten years and paid tribute to the Coordinators whose efforts are invaluable to the success and staying power of the network. Exchanges of experiences and learning took place successfully with innovative ideas shared with all CYN groups. Over a decade, the growing number of the members of the network continuously doing actions for wetlands conservation branched out with more projects and activities that also aided multi-sectoral involvement and partnership in their schools and communities.
