Kids at the Museum
The Ramon Aboitiz Foundation-Cultural Heritage Program along with the Cebu City Government, the Parks and Playgrounds Foundation, and the Carolinian Sociological-Anthropological Society will be organizing a month-long event dubbed as “Kids at the Museum.”
The event comes in connection with the National Children’s Month of October and aims to establish with children that museums are more than just repositories of heritage objects, but also venues for actively learning Cebuano culture and heritage.
Children will be exposed to local games (tubig-tubig, sungka, dam, and takyan), visual arts (drawing, collage and photography), and literary and performing arts (balak and sugilanon/story-telling).
Two hundred fifty children from six barangays—Parian, San Roque, Santo Niño, T. Padilla, Tejero and Tinago, the Parian Drop-in Center and kids of tartanilla drivers will be involved in the workshops/contests that will be held at the Casa Gorordo Museum and Fort San Pedro.
For inquiries and/or confirmation, please contact Harold de Mesa or Michelle Ann Belen at 418-7234 local 520, or email at hdemesa@rafi.org.ph or michelle.ann.belen@rafi.org.ph.
