The training focused on visual storytelling and basic videography skills. Panam City was chosen because its historic surroundings provided an ideal setting for hands-on learning and creative practice.

Participants learned the basics of camera composition, video framing, lighting, interview techniques, and storytelling for reports and awareness campaigns. They then put these skills into practice by filming short videos around Panam City.

One of the highlights of the training was a live documentary filming exercise using mobile phones. Guided by Klinton Malakar, participants worked together to film a short documentary based on the life of Rumon, one of the Young Scholars. Through this exercise, they learned how powerful personal stories can be used to raise awareness and inspire positive change.

The following day, participants joined a session on script writing and documentary story telling. Using Rumon’s documentary as an example, they learned how to plan a story, write a simple script, and edit videos using mobile applications through a live demonstration.The training gave participants practical skills and greater confidence in creating meaningful videos for reporting, awareness campaigns, and future community-based activities within the ALO Society Young Scholar Program.

Among them, 24 were staff participants, consisting of 3 males and 21 females.

The training was facilitated by an experienced trainer specializing in teaching methodologies and classroom techniques. The objective of the session was to strengthen the participants’ capacity in effective teaching and learning approaches, as well as to enhance their understanding of leprosy case identification.

The program was structured into two key sessions. The first session focused on an orientation to leprosy, aiming to improve awareness, early identification, and basic understanding of the disease. This part of the training was particularly important for community coaches who work closely with vulnerable groups and need accurate knowledge to support early referral and awareness building.

The second session focused on modern teaching techniques under the “Education for Empowerment” initiative, which is currently in its first phase of the third year. This initiative provides sponsored students with continued educational support while also engaging them in community coaching activities without financial burden. The training aimed to equip participants with foundational knowledge of teaching strategies, learning methods, and effective communication skills to enhance their coaching roles.

Overall, the session played a significant role in building the capacity of community coaches, combining both health awareness and educational skill development. It is expected that the participants will apply this learning in their respective communities, contributing to improved education support systems and better awareness on leprosy.
