The Philippine Center of International PEN (Poets, Playwrights, Essayists, Novelists) continues its series of workshops on teaching literature in selected regions of the Philippines this year.

Called “For Love of the Word: Workshops on Teaching Philippine Literature in High School and College,” the next workshop will be held on August 8 (Monday), from 8:30 to 4:30 pm, at Juan Luna Hall (UP Baguio Auditorium), University of Philippines-Baguio. Eminent writers/scholars and university professors Delfin Tolentino and Jun Cruz Reyes will serve as facilitators.

This workshop is co-hosted by UP-Baguio, and supported by PEN International in UK, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).

This project is PEN’s modest way of assisting in the improvement of literature education in the country. In the 2010 Cebu Congress, PEN has resolved to work more closely with the education sector, as it “recognizes that literary taste is shaped in the schools, especially the public school system; it is where generations must be taught to appreciate the outstanding works of our very own writers, works that constitute the soul of our nation.”

The first three workshops were successfully held on March 25 at Far Eastern University-Manila, May 6 at the University of San Agustin-Iloilo, and June 9 at the University of Cebu.

Forthcoming are three more workshops—in Bicol, Pangasinan, and Cagayan de Oro. The Bicol workshop will be held on October 10, in cooperation with Naga College Foundation.

The U.P. National Writers Workshop was reformatted five years ago to address a dearth in the mentoring of writers in mid-career. What before was a workshop that honed emerging talent mostly from the nation’s universities and colleges is now a workshop that focuses on writers who have already published, or are on the verge of publishing, a book or have won major literary awards. In effect, the new format caters to writers who have moved up from the beginner level.

The UP ICW is the only institution that offers a workshop of this caliber in the country. The function for beginner writers that the UP ICW vacated for the new workshop format is filled by the workshops held by other writing centers from the other universities in the country.

Aside from subjecting works in progress to workshops with the most admired names in Philippine contemporary literature, the UP National Writers Workshop provides a venue for discussion of the participants’ respective writing processes. It also allows participants to interact with local writers through special activities organized by the UP ICW and Baguio-based groups. As an outreach activity, the UP ICW has partnered with the University of the Philippines Baguio to hold an annual public lecture by an eminent writer. The lecture coincides with the workshop and is held in universities and colleges in and around Baguio City.
