The Department of Peace Studies celebrated the Human Rights week with various activities to highlight our commitment to the promotion of respect for human rights and for human rights education in general. In the Department of Peace Studies we believe that respect for human rights is an integral aspect of Peace Education. Of which the bottom line is that when the dignity of the individual human person is recognized, respected and given the opportunity to realize one's potentials as human persons, that peace and harmony in society could be promoted. These were some of the activities held:
1. On December 5, 2011 the Junior Peace Advocates donated banners highlighting our support for the celebration of Human Rights Week. The banners were displayed in front of the Bicol University Daraga Campus;
2. On December 5, 2011, a symposium was held attended by various sectors in society where the Church/NGO, the Police, and the Commission on Human Rights served as resource persons and the various sectors served as re-actors. The theme of the symposium was on the status of Extra-Judicial Killing. Various perspectives were brought into the fore during the discussion.
3. On December 8, 2011, an art exhibit was held at the Arcilla Hall in cooperation with cause oriented groups. The purpose of which was to highlight the importance of human rights through art works.
