Communities and Schools Leading in the Fight against Terrorism Project (CS-LIFT) Phase 1 Story
WATCH: Equal Access International launched a toolkit on Preventing Violent Extremism and Countering Terrorist Ideology for Grade 10 students, starting with seven schools in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and SOCSKSARGEN Region. This is in response to the phenomenon where over the last 6 years, an increasing number of recruitments by groups with links to the Islamic State (IS) have reportedly surfaced in educational settings, including high schools, using social media and interpersonal interactions, according to recent researchers. This toolkit is a key component of the project entitled “Communities and Schools Leading the Fight Against Terrorism (CS-LIFT)” which started in October 2020, in partnership with the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE)-BARMM and the Department of Education - Region 12. Watch through this video how our partner schools paved the way in leading towards the attainment of the project's goals of building peaceful communities and shaping resiliency among the students against the threats of violent extremism and terrorism. #CSLIFT #OURmindaNOW #EqualAccessPH

Isang daan at dalawampu’t tatlong taon na ang nakalipas mula nang ideneklara ang Araw ng Kalayaan na ipinagdiriwang tuwing ika-12 ng Hunyo, bilang pag-alaala sa tunay na kalayaan ng bansa. Sa ating pakikilahok sa mahalagang araw na ito ng ating kasaysayan, isa itong oportunidad upang ating mapasalamatan ang mga bayani, lideres at mga kapwa Pilipino na magiting na nagtaguyod at nakipaglaban upang makamit ang kalayaang inasam at pinangarap. Ang araw na ito ay isa ring pagkakataon upang pagnilayan kung ano nga ba ang tunay na kalayaan para sa atin bilang isang Pilipino, lalo na sa kasalukuyang panahon na minsan ang karapatang maging malaya ay isang hamon. Bilang isang Pilipino, ano nga ba para sa iyo ang pagiging malaya? #MalayaKaPilipinas #OURmindaNOW #EqualAccessPH
