The Reason Why I Created This Blog

I attended a Permaculture and Ecovillage Design Course in the US, with the sponsorship and support of various individuals/organisations. This blog was instrumental in connecting us.
I am now back in Malaysia, embarking on my pilot permaculture project in Batu Arang. My permaculture journey and progress will be updated on this blog.

Media Literacy - Promoting Critical Minds & Empowering Young People

Facilitator and workshop content developer
Cahayasuara Communications Centre
2004 - 2006 (and beyond, as guest facilitator)


The 3-day Refocus Media Literacy camp is offered by Cahayasuara Communications Centre to Catholic Youths. During the first 2 days of the camp, youths learn how to deconstruct and analyze media messages, reflect on their patterns and habits of consumption and access the influence media has upon them. On the third day, the youths apply what they have learnt by creating their very own media messages in the form of Public Service Announcements (PSA's) aimed at young people. Besides conducting and facilitating these Media Literacy workshops, I have also developed and facilitated a Creative Expression camp and a Mask Making workshop for youths, while at Cahayasuara.
