"in focus" seminar

Dear Friends,

The Philippines' Free Inquiry Group Inc. cordially invites you, your organization/s and friends to participate in our projects for October to December 2008.

The Free Inquiry Group Inc., in cooperation with Strategic Programs for the Advancement of Research and Knowledge (SPARK), Wordtext Systems Inc. (WSI), PUP Lounge, and the Korea-Philippines Information Technology Training Center, will be conducting a seminar-workshop on photojournalism and alternative media on November 8, 2008 (Saturday). We also have an ongoing photography contest until November 8. To showcase our seminar outputs, we will launch a web site and hold photo exhibits in schools in December.

The Free Inquiry Group Inc. is a discussion club that promotes free search for knowledge as well as innovative expression of ideas. Incorporators of the club hail from student organizations, civil society formations, the academe, and independent enterprises.

Our seminar-workshop aims to gather 150 to 200 participants from schools, NGOs, small enterprises, community media organizations, photography clubs, and individual hobbyists. Aside from offering participants with knowledge, skills and tips that will help enhance their capabilities in photojournalism and their chosen advocacies, the seminar also aims to promote camaraderie among the participants. The photography contest and campus exhibits aim to convey the creative ideas and outputs of participants to a wider audience via the world wide web and the schools where student organizations or associations may opt to host.

Please feel free to contact us for more information (email free.inquiry.group@gmail.com).

We are hoping for your confirmation and participation in our activities.

Thank you.
