2025 May 20 – The Don Bosco Youth Center in Lourdes Parish in cooperation with the Psychology Department of the University of Cebu – Banilad Campus, held a group dynamics workshop and seminar for the Knights of the Altar of the parish.
Third year students of the university’s psychology program held a pilot run of an intervention they designed which aimed to address the domains of organization needs. After a brief survey and needs assessment of the members of the KOA, they came up with experiential learning schemes to address the target group’s needs.
Around 29 young people from the Knights of the Altar participated in the program. The seven college students were guided by their professor as they led the group in formation and games.
This project by the psychology department aims to give students experience with facilitating and training organizations. By collaborating with the department, the Knights of the Altar perpetuates the Salesian Youth Movement’s motto of “youth serving youth”.
