Davao City, Philippines

Awakening the Dreamer Symposium was held at the Sangguniang Panlungsod (City Council) of Davao City on June 27, 2012 from 9am-5pm. After an initial run in May, two local organizations volunteered to host the event and invited their local partners working on environmental issues, namely, Interface for Development Initiatives (IDIS) which has gained major inroads on watershed management and protection in the city, and the Mindanao Commission on Women which highlights the role of women in the peace process and environmental protection.
