A joint project of ASP UP CAMP and Pasay Chapter, this human rights based seminar conducted last 05 July 2014 at Pasay SPED Center, was well-attended with various participants ranging from ASP members, students of medical allied courses, SPED teachers and even students with autism including Ian Lopez from UP Los Baños with mom Catherine Lopez, ASP Laguna Chapter President.

Mr. Ranilo Sorongon leads seminar on A Rights Based Approach Seminar

The set-up of the venue allows the speaker, Mr. Ranilo Sorongon, to easily approach each participant and individually asked their opinions on certain topics and situations being discussed which makes for very lively discussions. It keeps the exchanging of ideas free-flowing making the topics easily understood and not boring. Overall, the seminar was a success and a learning experience for us as a member of the working committee and we are looking forward as we prepare for an upcoming collaboration with UP Camp Manila for another seminar this August.
