IAS-iKLR follows 3 main guiding principles that
ensure the effectiveness of the program.
Universal
As character
transcends religious, cultural, and political beliefs and affiliations,
IAS-iKLR, is most effectively explained in the language of universal truths and
values.
Following the
principle of universality has moved organizations from different countries (of
different cultures and religions) to invite the IAS-iKLR Team to hold seminars
for their youth and to translate our publications to their language.
Youth
Oriented / Interactive
Since the youth
tend to open up and listen more to their peers without qualms, IAS-iKLR is
grateful for the select college students and young professionals who, to the best
of their abilities, share themselves to inspire their peers to always strive to
be better each day.
In the same regard,
sessions are designed to be interactive. A talk on a given topic is followed by
an activity to ensure the active involvement of the participants.
Multisectoral Representation
The advocacy is a
multi-sectored campaign, extending membership to groups that affect youth
development: the academe, the local government units, the non-government
organizations, the business sector, and the media.
Each sector has its
distinct role in honing the character of our nation’s future decision-makers.
IAS-iKLR serves to continuously encourage these sectors to contribute towards
building a nation of good character.
I Am S.T.R.O.N.G. might just be a
lynchpin, among several others, in the rebuilding of a family, a community, a
nation, for three reasons. One, the program addresses the future of our own
sons and daughters, and grandchildren. Two, the program builds a future
workforce that is more disposed to work harder. Three, it is a guaranteed
exercise of social responsibility through the character development of the
youth.
