It’s time to stop whispering about the "taboo" topics and start the conversation for real. 🗣️✨ **Empowering YOUth** is hitting the road in Iligan City to swap stigma for facts and gatekeeping for inclusion. If you're ready to boss up as an advocate, this is your era. 🏳️‍🌈🩺

***

###### 🚐 The Vibe: The Education Caravan

We’re bringing the energy to four schools in Iligan City from **March 24–27, 2026**. This isn't your typical boring seminar—it’s a full-day immersive experience focused on:

* 🩸 **HIV Awareness:** Real talk on myths, facts, and knowing your status.
* 🌈 **SOGIESC & Inclusion:** Understanding the spectrum and making sure everyone feels seen.
* 🤝 **Consent Culture:** Learning the "yes" and "no" of healthy relationships.

###### 👑 The Leadership Glow-Up

Before we hit the schools, our **16 Student Leaders** are going through an intensive "main character" training on **March 21**. They’re signing the contract, locking in their skills, and preparing to lead the charge. No mid energy allowed—only high-impact, stigma-sensitive facilitation. 📝🔥

###### 🎬 Your Content Creator Era: The Video Challenge

In the afternoon, we’re handing the mic (and the camera) to **YOU**. 🤳 You’ll team up for an **Advocacy Video Challenge** (30–60 seconds) to debunk HIV myths or hype up SOGIESC respect.

* **The Perks:** Get featured on the big screens (social media) and compete for **cash prizes** and certificates! 💸🏆
* **The Finale:** We’re celebrating the best digital advocates at our official Awarding Ceremony on **April 18, 2026**.

###### 🤝 Peer-to-Peer > Lectures

We believe the best way to learn is from people who actually get it. By becoming a peer educator and digital advocate, you’re not just a student—you’re a changemaker building a safer, kinder Iligan. 🏙️✨

> **The Energy:** Informed. Inclusive. Unstoppable. ✊
