The Silay Summer Workshop '10

To address the growing demand of summer activities for the growing population of children in the city of Silay, Tapulanga Foundation offered a month-long summer arts camp geared towards “playing and having fun whilst learning a craft” entitled The Silay Summer Workshop ‘10” on April 12 to May 7, 2010. It was co-sponsored by AY Foundation and Bonfire Productions and hosted by Silay Institute (SI) and St. Francis of Assisi School of Silay City Foundation (SFAS).

A total of 107 students and professionals joined, with student-scholars coming from SI, SFAS, Adela, Alicante and Sto. Rosario Elementary Schools, National High Schools of Tanza, E.B. Magalona, E. Lopez and Dona Monserrat Lopez, San Isidro Extension HS, Don Bosco Technical Institute, St. Mary Mazarello School and Dr. Antonio A. Lizares Memoral HS.

Our workshop instructors and facilitators came from very diverse but professional backgrounds and we offered their expertise not just to teach our kids a certain craft, but to make sure they had fun doing it and that they learned how to play well. Our main thrust was to give the children a fun experience in learning a craft in the arts during their summer break.
