    • ABOUT

      YAEHA Workshops, works in partnership with the media and creative industry to give marginalised groups and young people a stronger voice. Our member media and creative professionals share time, knowledge and experience to benefit the marginalized and rights holder groups, and young people. Working with government and non-government agencies as well as companies, we amplify their voices by developing and enhancing their communication and digital skills to help them connect better with their audiences and participate in team, community and corporate projects.

       

      Youth/Adolescent Empowerment & Health Advocacies Channel is a program by The LoveLife Project for Health & Environment Inc., a non-profit media organization composed of marginalized groups and media and creative professionals who envision a world where people live at optimal health, happiness and productivity.

       

      The program is our response to the growing need for the youth to be correctly informed and educated about digital media and technology, health and environment. It conceptualized, creates and produces youth-centered and youth-led projects where the marginalized and the majority class work together in a safe and nurturing environment. Our training program has four phases, usually, depending upon the requests of or partner organization or company.

      Phase 1: YAEHA Digital Empowerment Workshops:

      For Coping or Co-creating

      Own your narrative. Confront your life story. Rewrite, create, master. Through digital media. For the marginalized, for students, employees, and the community members.

      Phase 2: Collab to Create Content

      Digital Content Creations on various advocacies by our students, with guidance by media professionals.

      Phase 3: Present to Community

      Thru a Community Premiere or thru our YAEHADEMIC Digital Festival, we organize our groups, stakeholders, academe, health sector, government and private institutions and the media, to see the movies we created and to spark conversations and inspire new partnerships.

      YAEHADEMIC Digital Health Caravan

      We then bring our advocacy content and talks to more communities and campuses to impact more lives. We then repeat the process the next year.

    • YAEHA WORKSHOP TRIUMPH: DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT FOR THE MARGINALIZED THRU WORKSHOP, CONTENT CREATION AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING WINS BEST PRACTICE AT VOICES FOR INCLUSION INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IN THE NETHERLANDS, JANUARY 2020

      Our innovative project YAEHADEMIC Digital Empowerment Workshops won among many applicants from the Philippines and other countries. Held in the Hague, Netherlands, the contest was held at the International Conference on Voices for Inclusion by Liliane Foundation in partnership with Voice and Dutch Coalition on Disability and Development.

      Best Practice Winner The LoveLife Project for Health & Environment Inc. for YAEHA DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS

      Our workshop has been developed through our years and years of advocacy practice, since 1998, as individuals, as media professionals, and as a collective. Initially, we didn't know about the word "intersectionality" but through the Linking and Learning Sessions held between August and October last year (2019), and, between the three selected contestant organizations (Virtualahan, A2D and The LoveLife Project), we realized that this new concept for advocacy for inclusion, is actually what our culture is, as media practitioners. Since college, we were trained to make our stories holistic and our study of our characters multi-dimensional or we will be deemed irresponsible storytellers and truth reporters. This is an integral component of our programs and projects. This is what we teach our participants to the YAEHA Workshops.

      Our Winning Video Entry

      We were asked to produce a 90 seconds video presentation as entry to the Voices for Inclusion Using Digital Technology or Media International Contest at the Netherlands, 2020.

      Digital Storytelling for

      the Marginalized

      The training involves the initial auditions for scholarships for youth from marginalized groups where they learn about digital storytelling with students from private or exclusive schools. Carefully guided by trained facilitators, they also share their personal stories and get to re-write their narratives. Participants collaborate in creating one story for the advocacy movie that will be produced at the end of the training sessions. This advocacy movie is usually presented, when completed, through the YAEHADEMIC Festival, presented to the community to spark conversations. The movie then is used for fund-raising screenings to raise funds again for our next training projects.
