In line with the EDSA Revolution anniversary, the Cebu City Public Library, in cooperation with newly-formed group The Basadours, will launch the “I Love to Read Project,” a public-private collaborative project aimed at literacy development.
Believing that literacy is a part of basic education, the project seeks to address the fundamental challenges of literacy development.
The project is adopting alternative and non-formal approach to learning through storytelling by employing strategies such as role playing, puppet shows and reading aloud.
The project will be launched on Feb. 25.
The launching will be graced by Cebu City officials led by Mayor Michael Rama.
Taking the lead in this project are The Basadours, a group of Cebuano volunteer ambassadors for reading and storytelling.
Espousing the ideals of volunteerism and public-private partnership, the group is the project’s backbone and provides a pool of readers, storytellers, facilitators and support staff.
