MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, April 14 (PIA) -- In order to find better ways to communicate for peace in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), a one-day Peace Communication Summit will be held on April 17, 2012 at Al-Nor Convention Center in Cotabato City.
The said summit was organized by an ad hoc group called “armmpeace.com,” a collaboration among the Bureau of Public Information (BPI) in the ARMM, the Communications Units of the Office of the Presidential Assistant on the Peace Process (OPAPP), The Asia Foundation, and the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society, Inc., as an effort to pursue peace initiatives in Mindanao.
Anchored on the theme “Beyond Conflict and Political Coverage, Is There a Room for Peace Communication in the Reportage of Muslim Mindanao,” the summit will highlight a discussion on peace initiatives and how communication can either hinder or help in attaining peace objectives.
According to Nash B. Maulana, BPI-ARMM Director, the summit was conceived to bring together different groups and individuals to discuss ways to help reduce conflict in Muslim Mindanao through more responsible communication from all sides.
Participants from the civil society, government and corporate communicators, and the media will be sharing their views, experiences and insights on how to communicate for peace, he added.
