PROJECT RATIONALE

The international community is working to develop innovative approaches to global

security and stability. The UN’s ‘Sustaining Peace’ agenda calls for greater focus on the
prevention of conflict, and a greater role for civil society organizations in peacebuilding
after conflict. The UN–World Bank report Pathways for Peace highlights how some of the
greatest risks of violence today stem from perceived inequalities between different
groups. Shared identities, history and narratives of humiliation and frustration are often
key in mobilizing a group to violence, against either the state or another social or ethnic
group. Conflict, fragility and development are closely interlinked, and conflict remains a
key barrier to achieving the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Philippines
is not excuse to this especially Mindanao.
As a result, violent extremism, terrorism, war and conflict such as Zamboanga and Marawi
siege-built barriers and gaps among humankind. SOCCSKSARGEN region, also known
as Central Mindanao region, is composed of the provinces of North and South Cotabato,
Sultan Kudarat, Saranggani and the cities of Cotabato, Kidapawan, Koronadal, Tacurong
and Gen. Santos, is also vulnerable to this conflict. As reported in ABS-CBN News,
alleged Maute bomb expert was found and killed at Genearal Santos City and other Maute
Groups scattered around the region. It’s a threat to the regions security and stability.
Differences in languages, foods, ways of dressing, assumptions and beliefs hinder them
to listen and understand the uniqueness of each group. Everybody has a tendency to be
non-accepting of new ideas and possibilities of creating a new culture.
Unfortunately, Muslims and Non-Muslim relation has always been the center of
conversation when peace and conflict is the topic of every dialogue. In every conversation
it was already injected in their minds that there is a difference between the two and forgot
to examine their commonalities. With that, there is a need to increase the awareness in
in championing cultural sensitivity and enriching cultural identity of each group to build
understanding, acceptance and people grounded with knowledge and skills that is helpful
in peace building.
In the handbook Education for Socially Engaged Art: Materials and Techniques, Pablo
Helguera writes, “SEA is a hybrid, multi-disciplinary activity that exists somewhere
between art and non-art, and its state may be permanently unresolved. SEA depends on
actual — not imagined or hypothetical — social action.” That is why Project SiKap strongly
believe that through Arts plus Creativity, Innovation and Education it can change what
people think, how they think, what they do and how they interact to everything in this
world- be it events or people. Also, people can be educated through visualization because
arts record important history, stories and cultural heritage, and bridge cultural,
geographical and other barriers
Project SiKap want to change the mindset of the people for it believes that it is the greatest
enemy of peace. Project SiKap wants to influence how people think and lead them to a
new way of thinking- a peaceful way of thinking.
Integrating Peace in Arts, Creativity, Innovation and Education, Project SiKap can create
a new world where people are embracing peace; Project SiKap are creating a new culture
called Culture of Peace. Thus, Project SiKap need everyone to build the Culture of Peace.
Join the team in building the Culture of Peace and making Peace as a new normal.

 Contribution to Peace Building
The southern Philippines has endured decades of conflict, violence, and the
presence of armed groups. Poverty, poor governance and the ambiguous implementation
of the peace agreements with Rebel Groups but still left this region vulnerable and still no
closer to peace.
As the youths constitute the richest wealth of a country therefore Youth plays a big
role in peace building. The Project SiKap encourage Tri-youth to be actively involved in
peacebuilding initiatives and to preserve and promote the gains of the peace process. It
also encourages young people to refrain from joining extremist groups. This will be a
platform for promoting peace, dialogue and more moderate forms of Religious beliefs
amongst youth in Mindanao through visual arts.
The Project SiKap also offered young people with an opportunity to exchange
thoughts, practical tips and suggestions based on their personal experiences through
visual arts, videography, photography and social media platform. The Project SiKap is an
avenue for young people to learn from each other, share experiences, and discuss
effective ways building culture of Peace through arts.
This simple and small project supports Peace and Development Efforts in
Mindanao and in SOCCSARGEN. The Youth might be the target, but it will impact all
people that might reach regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity
and religion. On Macro level, it contributes to the UN SDG 16 Promote Peaceful and
Inclusive society for Sustainable Development
