Community Service Project Fair 2009 Held

“A unique bazaar and an annual search for best project ideas that addresses social issues”

The Civic Welfare Training Service class of 2009 held its Community Service Project Fair at the CAS 1st Floor Lobby last March 19-20, 2009. The Project Fair aimed to showcase the various projects of the CWTS students to the UPV community and to the outside community as well.

The exhibit featured projects of the 20 teams and their respective beneficiaries through a tarpaulin display. The tarpaulin contains basic information such as: project title, background, objectives, project beneficiaries, project cost, and contact information.

The exhibit included the Art Contest and the Photoessay. The Art Contest consists of the hand-painted shirts by the teams wherein they expressed their project’s advocacy. The teams are free to choose the media they want to use in designing the shirts. The Photoessay consists of four to six pictures, a title, and a short statement arranged in poster form expressing the project’s advocacy or vision.

The event is also a contest among the teams. Honors such as Young Project Manager and Leadership Award were given to deserving students. The awarding ceremony included in the Culminating Activity last March 21, 2009 at CFOS-AV Hall, Pidlaoan Building.
