Cauayan City, Isabela – A total of 62 members of Batang Radyo sa Nutrisyon (BRSN) from Cauayan City, Santiago City and Nueva Vizcaya converged last 28 October 2014 at Faustino L. DY Coliseum for a one-day retraining on radio broadcasting.
Nutrition Program Coordinator Rhodora G. Maestre explained that the training entitled “Batang Radyo sa Nutrisyon Reinforcement Training and Team Building” strengthens the knowledge, skills and values of the BRSN members on radio broadcasting. NPC Maestre further said that the training incorporates team building activities to promote the value of camaraderie among them.
Mr. Domingo Fugaban, resource speaker and member of Balay ni IFAN media group, discussed about simple ways on news writing and tips on conducting radio interview. After which, the BRSN members underwent broadcast simulation with the guidance of their coaches.
Since some BRSN members are yet to undergo puberty stage, Ms. Herita Macarubbo, Planning Officer-IV of Commission on Population Region II, gave them lecture about their responsibilities as they develop physically. She also shared some information about good nutrition, good grooming and responsible decisions to make them healthy as a whole.
After all the lectures, the BRSN members shifted into team building activities. Each division performed a five-minute cheer dance with BRSN members of Santiago City declared as champion in the said competition.
Before the team building activities begin, the facilitators grouped these young ones with other BRSN members of each division to further build rapport as they go along with the activities. After each game, the facilitators asked a volunteer from the BRSN members to share their experience and the value they have learned in the game.
Special prizes were given to groups declared as winners.
