fusion 2013 The 1st Festival of Languages

and the Arts in Agoo, La Union
A. INTRODUCTION

Rationale
The Faculty of Languages at the College of Arts and Sciences in DMMMSU-
SLUC announces the holding of its 1st Festival of Languages and the Arts in the
Municipality of Agoo, La Union on December 11-13, 2013.

The theme for this year’s FUSION is “Understanding You and Me through
Arts and Languages”.

Since the establishment of the Languages Department in DMMMSU-SLUC, its

faculty has implemented a wide range of activities aimed at stimulating
creativity and professionalism in the languages, communications and arts
sectors and promoting inter- and intra-disciplinary cultural collaborations.
Having organized a series/variety of training workshops for different disciplines
relative to its functions and mandate, the department identified a need to equip
interested students and professionals in Agoo with further basic theoretical
knowledge and research skills, techniques and arts and languages
craftsmanship as an important element in its efforts to develop the arts and
languages sector in the community.

The faculty believes that the best path to language acquisition is to create a
well-balanced teaching method that develops both the receptive and productive
skills. It will be an interactive learner-centered festival which focuses on series
of lecture and activities that are specifically designed to improve writing,
speaking, reading, listening skills, vocabulary and grammar and appreciation of
arts and culture through literature. Lecture sessions are designed to explore
interesting themes through media, group activities, games, discussions, and
presentations. Topics include pop-culture, arts and culture, public
speaking/hosting, journalism, business writing, personality development and
many more. The students and professionals will gain fluency in the acquisition
of language in a fun and dynamic environment.

Likewise, language and communication competence is a must for learners and

educators. It is a necessity for language education to develop excellence as the
world is drawn into a more sophisticated modes of communication; hence, to
draw out the latent abilities our students have through several competitions.
These competitions will foster a certain level of target achievement to our
students, boosting further their confidence, competence and character.

Language, especially Iloco, is recognized as a major artistic resource, but many

groups of youth today do little to address this reality of the immense potential
and contribution of the language. The Ilocanos must generate an African-
centered appreciation of its artistic wealth, managing and stimulating home
grown creativity.
In Region 1 the implementation of the Iloco Code challenges the Ilocanos to
develop and sustain local relevant language and culture. There are little
specialized activities for the appreciation and preservation of the language. As a
result, the quality of this piece of culture is ignored nor appreciated.
Agoo, being among the educational hubs in the region, needs to strengthen the
role of the language, emphasizing its understanding and developing a skillful
force that generates dynamism in arts, culture and languages. An opportunity
has emerged to find new, engaging, and sustainable models for the arts and
languages and to develop bold innovative thinking to show a path forward.

The training workshop and competitions seek to rethink how the VMGO of
DMMMSU and the Languages Department heeds to the call of globalization;
how the communication landscape is changing, harnessing the latest tools and
technology to make the transition to the new information technology
environment; how to engage new audiences, using information portals with
innovative methods to cover, inspire and engage with communities through arts
and culture by providing platforms for high quality arts, culture and languages
criticism.
B. OBJECTIVES

FUSION 2013 aims at contributing to the development of a well informed and

creative force of arts, humanities, education and languages students and
teachers—representing about the arts and languages in their aesthetic and
artistic values while it seeks to stimulate collaborative training workshops and
competitions. The festival is designed to stretch students’ and teachers’
thinking and practical skills and techniques and is set to achieve the following
objectives:
- Raise standards of and appreciation for arts, culture and languages
- Motivate an economic and academic interest for quality arts and culture
coverage
- Generate a peer-to-peer network of learners to collectively share crafted
visual and performing arts
- Introduce participants to the latest practical tools, theories and hands on
techniques to learning languages

INDEPTH SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

1. INTRODUCTION

The INDEPTH NETWORK is an international network of field sites with continuous

demographic evaluation of populations and their health in developing countries.
The demographic surveillance system (DSS) sites generate high quality, population-
based, health and demographic data on longitudinal basis, and constitute a critical
alternative to the dearth of valid, population-based information in much of the
developing world. INDEPTH harnesses the collective potential of these initiatives to
provide a better, empirical understanding of health and social issues and to apply
this understanding to alleviate the most severe health and social challenges.
One of the numerous strengths of DSS sites is that they comprise multidisciplinary
teams of epidemiologists, biostatisticians, demographers and social scientists, who
collect, clean, maintain, and analyse empirical information that can impact on
health policy and practice. The sites therefore have the requisite infrastructure for
research to inform priority setting, policy and the allocation of resources. However,
there is a need to strengthen (and in some cases to build) their capacities to
maximise the benefits of the technologies they use in generating these large
volumes of data, and to add value to the data.

A key mission of the Network is to support capacity building and strengthening of

cross-site collaborations among INDEPTH member sites. The strategy to achieve
this includes internships and pre- and post-doctoral fellowships for developing
country nationals, short on-site training courses, fostering south-south and south-
north partnerships. We propose to promote this through a Scientific Development
and Leadership Programme, with an initial focus on INDEPTH sites in Africa.

Objectives

The key objectives of the Scientific Development and Leadership Programme are:

A. To develop a genre of African scientists from INDEPTH sites and elsewhere

through practical on-the-job training in a unique Masters programme that
combines epidemiology, biostatistics, demography and other social sciences with a
focus on demographic and health surveillance in developing countries, who

1. can identify key biomedical and public health problems that may be addressed
by epidemiological or demographic studies and design solutions to those
problems;
2. have the appropriate analytical skills and can understand, plan and execute
field-based scientific research; and
3. have good communication skills to make research results understandable to
diverse audiences.

B. To develop the capacity of scientists in the INDEPTH Network to

1. have negotiating power to engage external collaborators;

2. to compete effectively for international resources; and
3. to take leadership roles at their workplaces.

Existing Program

Existing training opportunities in Africa include a number of courses at the

Master’s level in epidemiology and biostatics of duration between one and
two years. None of these encompass demographic surveillance as a
significant component and most have no requirement for practical on-the-
job field research. The field components of these program are, at most, of
short duration. To remedy these shortcomings we propose the development
a Master Degree Program in Population-based field research. The course
duration will be a 12-18 months (face-to-face) comprising 8-12 months
teaching, and 4-6 months field work.
What is the difference about the proposed program

1. DSS sites have huge amounts of longitudinal data available that can be
exploited for research linked to the formulation of health and population policies.
2. INDEPTH is a large established network (29 sites in 16 different countries),
providing the possibility of analyzing data from multiple sites/countries.
3. the longitudinal nature of demographic surveillance at INDEPTH sites builds in
continuity of staff and infrastructure.
4. INDEPTH has a vibrant research environment in the DSS sites that can be
further exploited for hands-on research experience;
5. Graduates will emerge from the training program with the necessary skills to
conduct high quality research. Sites will build on the skills base to further
develop them as good communicators, negotiators, competitors for international
resources, and research leaders.

2. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

Development of a Master Degree Course

The programme should be started by year 2004. The course work should be
structured in a way that it meets the course hours and credit requirements of the
hosting university. It is proposed that the course be delivered through a
combination of face-to-face teaching and distance learning approaches, to enable
interaction between participants from different sites but also to maximise the time
that students spend in a field environment getting hands-on experience of policy-
relevant data-based research attached to INDEPTH-member sites.

NeON Arts

Concept Paper

Purpose
The following Concept Paper is the precursor to a forthcoming Request for
Proposals (RFP) to provide NeON Arts. Through the upcoming RFP, the Department
of Probation (DOP) will be seeking appropriately qualified vendor(s) to facilitate
provision of community‐based arts projects in each of the seven NeON communities
throughout New York City: Brownsville (Brooklyn), East New York (Brooklyn),
Harlem (Manhattan), South Jamaica (Queens), Staten Island, the South Bronx, and
Bedford‐Stuyvesant (Brooklyn). DOP is seeking comments on the Concept Paper
herein presented.

DOP Mission
DOP is helping to build stronger and safer communities by supervising people on
probation, providing interventions and opportunities that foster behavioral change
and that lead to a road to success outside of the justice system. These
opportunities include meaningful education, employment, health services, family
engagement and civic participation.

NeON: Neighborhood Opportunity Network

To better accomplish its mission, DOP has begun focusing service delivery on the
neighborhood level. The vehicle for DOP’s neighborhood‐based strategy is the
Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON). At the heart of the NeON is a network
of partners – individuals and organizations, public and private – working together
to improve public safety by linking people on probation to quality opportunities,
resources, and services and by strengthening community capacity to find solutions
to complex challenges. NeONs are located across New York City in Brownsville,
East New York, Bedford‐Stuyvesant, Staten Island, Central Harlem, South Jamaica
and the South Bronx1.

Each NeON has a stakeholder group that engages clients and their communities as
they develop the competencies, they need to permanently exit the justice system.
The NeON Stakeholder Group (NSG) is comprised of traditional community leaders,
elected officials, service providers, advocacy groups, grassroots organizations, DOP
NeON staff and DOP clients and families, who together help to guide and inform
DOP’s neighborhood work. The primary goal of the NeON is to help clients succeed
and make communities stronger and safer.

NeON Arts: The Model

NeON Arts is one piece of the NeON network, designed to provide transformative
educational and cultural experiences for young adults on probation while building
capacity in the surrounding community. In addition to engaging probation clients,
NeON Arts also engages each local NSG and a host of community partners. Each
respective NSG would be central to the development of the community‐based arts
projects for NeON Arts. NeON Arts would support at least one community‐based
arts project per year in each of the seven NeON communities. These projects would
serve to collaboratively support and build capacity in the local community,
engaging both DOP clients and community members. NeON Arts projects would be
designed to provide artistic opportunities for participants that address social,
emotional, and educational needs while reflecting their complex identities through
both familiar and new artistic mediums/genres. It is anticipated that projects may
be related to a variety of disciplines, including dance, music, theater, visual arts,
poetry, and digital media and enhancement/support of the NSG and community
infrastructure. NeON Arts projects should include a public performance/exhibition
component to acknowledge and showcase the effort and accomplishments of
participants to help change perceptions held by family members, community
members, DOP staff, and other public audiences. The NeON Arts provider(s) would
have the capacity and experience to handle the administration of NeON Arts as well
as direct service provision of arts programming. The NeON Arts provider(s) would
be responsible for general support and facilitation for NeON Arts projects, which
would include coordinating with Probation Staff, each respective NSG and working
with local arts organizations/providers to develop each arts‐based community
benefit project. Each respective NSG would determine specifications and criteria,
with assistance from the provider(s), for the project to be run in the respective
NeON community.

Program Design

a. Target Population
NeON Arts projects would be open to both probation clients and members of the
local NeON community; providing transformative educational and cultural
experiences.

b. Geographic Service Areas/Targeted Areas

NeON Arts projects would take place in seven NeON communities: Brownsville
(Brooklyn), East New York (Brooklyn), Harlem (Manhattan), South Jamaica
(Queens), Staten Island, the South Bronx, and Bedford‐Stuyvesant (Brooklyn).
Projects should reflect and include the local community.

c. Program Hours/Schedule
It is expected that NeON Arts would be run outside of normal business hours, as
preparations for and actual performances/exhibitions will likely occur in the
evening hours and/or on weekends.
d. Site Information
The Contractor(s) may designate an administrative site where the project manager
would be based; however, facilitation and delivery of the NeON Arts projects would
occur in the relevant NeON community.

e. Staffing
The Contractor(s) would be required, at minimum, to maintain a project manager
position dedicated full‐time to NeON Arts. The project manager would be
responsible for facilitating the development, implementation and assessment of
NeON Arts; including but not limited to communication and reporting to DOP, as
well as coordination with the NSG and any other relevant stakeholders for provision
of community projects.

Performance Measures
a. Outcomes
The contractor(s) would be expected to engage DOP clients in their own
communities, engage the community and its stakeholders, build a network of arts
organizations, community partners and DOP staff. The contractor would be
expected to work with the NSG as a collaborative body to build infrastructure and
capacity. The contractors would be expected to work with DOP Staff, NSG, Arts
Organizations and Participants to increase community engagement.

b. Reporting
Contractor(s) would be required to maintain and submit data (reflecting participant
attendance, services provided, budget, and outcomes/milestones achieved). Such
data would be submitted on a monthly basis or other frequency determined by DOP.
Contractor(s) would submit progress reports to DOP, as directed, regarding
implementation of projects. Contractor(s) may be required to use DOP’s on‐line data
collection system to record all required data.

Funding

a. Funding Amounts/Anticipated Payment Structure

The anticipated annual funding for NeON Arts is approximately $1 million. It is
anticipated that the budget(s) for the contract(s) resulting from the forthcoming
NeON Arts RFP would include an administrative fee of approximately 7‐15% of the
annual contract value3; the remaining funds would be allocated for each NeON
location for at least one project per year. The Contractor would be responsible for
maintaining the overall budget of the program and ensuring that the funds are
appropriately distributed to ensure that each NeON location has the opportunity to
complete at least one project each contract year within the maximum funding
amount provided. The Contractor would be paid on a cost reimbursement basis.

b. Anticipated Number of Contracts/Contract Term

DOP expects to issue 1‐2 contracts to facilitate and deliver NeON Arts. The
anticipated contract term is for approximately two years, with an option to renew
for up three additional years. Contract terms and amounts are based on availability
of funding and are subject to change.

Evaluation of Proposals
Proposals will be evaluated pursuant to the criteria set forth in the RFP. This will
include the quality of the proposer’s approach and program design for each key
service area comprising the NeON Arts program. In addition, the evaluation will
assess the proposer’s successful, relevant experience providing similar services.
Proposals will also be evaluated based on the organization’s staffing model and
organizational structure as it relates to capacity to deliver these services. DOP
anticipates that evaluation of proposals may include interviews and/or site visits in
addition to review of the written proposal.

Procurement Timeline
Release of the RFP is anticipated in Summer 2015 with services anticipated to
begin November 1,
2015.
Use of HHS Accelerator
To respond to the forthcoming NeON Arts RFP and all other client and community
services (CCS) Requests for Proposals (RFPs), vendors must first complete and
submit an electronic prequalification application using the City’s Health and
Human Services (HHS) Accelerator System. The HHS Accelerator System is a

3 Skulls Bike Competition Program in Tagaytay City

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this study was to update the evidence on the health benefits of
cycling. A systematic review of the literature resulted in 16 cycling-specific studies.
Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies showed a clear positive relationship
between cycling and cardio-respiratory fitness in youths. Prospective observational
studies demonstrated a strong inverse relationship between commuter cycling and
all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and cancer morbidity among middle-aged to
elderly subjects. Intervention studies among working-age adults indicated
consistent improvements in cardiovascular fitness and some improvements in
cardiovascular risk factors due to commuting cycling. Six studies showed a
consistent positive dose-response gradient between the amount of cycling and the
health benefits. Systematic assessment of the quality of the studies showed most of
them to be of moderate to high quality. According to standard criteria used
primarily for the assessment of clinical studies, the strength of this evidence was
strong for fitness benefits, moderate for benefits in cardiovascular risk factors, and
inconclusive for all-cause mortality, coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality,
cancer risk, and overweight and obesity. While more intervention research is
needed to build a solid knowledge base of the health benefits of cycling, the existing
evidence reinforces the current efforts to promote cycling as an important
contributor for better population health.
To be fit and healthy you need to be physically active. Regular physical activity can
help protect you from serious diseases such as obesity, heart disease, cancer,
mental illness, diabetes, and arthritis. Riding your bicycle regularly is one of the
best ways to reduce your risk of health problems associated with a sedentary
lifestyle. Cycling is a healthy, low impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of
all ages, from young children to older adults. It is also fun, cheap, and good for the
environment. Riding to work or the shops is one of the most time efficient ways to
combine regular exercise with your everyday routine. An estimated one billion
people ride bicycles every day for transport, recreation, and sport.

OBJECTIVES
1. Provides recreational bicycling activities and rides for cyclist and their families.
2. Encourage cycling as a lifelong activity for individual health and happiness.
3. Sponsor social opportunities for cyclist to share experiences and fellowship.
4. Promote safe riding conditions in Lancaster County.
5. Advocate for bicycling through education, communication, and participation in
advocacy organizations.
6. Support club activities and interests through collective funding and program
sponsorship
