GKOM Training By JOE OCONER Date Posted: March 06, 2007 On Saturday, 24th February, 44 youths and young adults attended the Gawad Kalinga Communications (GKOM) Training Day, which was conducted under the guidance of its head leaders, Jocytte Musa and Jamike David, at Loyola College in Mt Druitt. GKOM Australia is the communications arm of GK, in Australia, that works to locally and nationally spread the ideals and works of Gawad Kalinga through various mediums such as print, internet, film, photography and events. Within GKOM, there are four teams (Design, News Bureau, Video & Photography and Events) that operate both independently and in cooperation with each other. After an introductory video and explanations of the roles and responsibilities of each of the four teams, participants were then given the opportunity to choose their preferred area of interest. Much of the day was devoted to developing ideas for upcoming events such as the GK Harvest and the Miss GK program, practically applying the principles learnt within each of the team workshops and setting goals and tasks to be achieved by each of the four teams. The GKOM workshop was able to instil a sense of duty within each participant to work selflessly and to use their talents with the end objective of restoring the dignity of others. GKOM would like to thank Loyola College, the workshop team leaders and the participants for contributing to the success of the day, as well as GKANCOP and CFC members for providing the lunch during the workshop.
