About the Forum

 

The National Youth Forum on Heritage (NYFH) is designed to serve as platform both for the Filipino youth who advocate for heritage and the stakeholders of Filipino heritage. Its thrusts are mainly focused on youth participation in nation-building through safeguarding heritage in all its forms, and on heritage education anchored in awareness and capacity-building of the youth.

 

NYFH envisions a Filipino youth aware of his or her identity by appreciating, conserving and promoting the nation’s past, culture and natural resources and drawing inspirations from these which leads to action. Because he or she treasures everything that constitutes the nation’s soul (culture), inherent beauty (nature) and spirit (history), he or she is after the conservation and promotion of these. In doing so, NYFH has a mission of fostering active youth involvement in increasing the community and fellow youth’s awareness on heritage-related laws, and integrating heritage in various youth programs and initiatives, regardless of professional background and field.

 

The NYFH is a brainchild by The Outstanding Students of the Philippines Region 3 Alumni Community of Heroes in collaboration with Project Saysay and TOSP Foundation (formerly RFM Foundation).
