Youth Heroism & Civic Engagement

Who is the Filipino youth? Who is the global youth of today? Do they have what it takes to be heroes? #GenKaMagaling inspires the youth to exhibit modern-day heroism. It starts by understanding who they are behind the negative stereotypes, by reflecting on the lives of our former young heroes, and by recognizing how heroism is not just a thing of the past.

Sino ang kabataang Pilipino? Sino ba ang kabataan? At kaya ba nilang maging mga bayani? Inihahandog ng Pinas Forward Academy ang #GenKaMagaling – isang kursong nagnanais hikayatin ang kabataan na maging mga makabagong bayani. Nagsisimula ito sa pag-unawa ng kanilang mga sarili sa likod ng stereotypes, sa pagbalik-tanaw sa mga buhay ng ating mga bayani noong sila’y bata pa, at sa pagkilala at pagtanggap na ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang isang bagay ng nakaraan.

#GenKaMagaling is one of Pinas Forward GenLit’s Citizenship LIT-eracies – “LIT,” a term used by the youth to describe anything they find excellent or extraordinary. Pinas Forwarders put the LIT in GenLit by creating movers out of dreamers, concrete actions out of aspirations and stronger communities out of individuals.
