The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), in collaboration with NCIP Caraga, successfully conducted the Skills Enhancement Training for IP Youth Leaders as 4Ps Advocates on August 18-20, 2025, at the Balanghai Hotel and Convention Center, Butuan City.

Participated in by five IP groups in Caraga—Manobo, Talaandig, Mamanwa, Higaonon, and Banwaon — this 3-day training became a vibrant space for learning, empowerment, and cultural pride.

With sessions on Self-Awareness, Leadership, Visioning, IPRA Law, Cultural Dance, Music & Poetry, Advocacy, 4Ps Youth Development Session, Facilitation, and Documentation, our youth leaders deepened their knowledge, celebrated their heritage, and strengthened their voices as advocates for their communities.

Together, they rise as cultural bearers, leaders, and advocates of change.
