The Preventive Junior High School in Aflao became a platform for conversation on peace, vigilance and community safety as officers of the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons engaged over 300 students on the dangers associated with illicit firearms.
The session introduced students to the role young people can play in helping to prevent violence within their schools and communities, especially within border areas vulnerable to trafficking and criminal activities.
Students were also taken through the β4Wsβ approach to reporting suspicious activities β Who, What, Where and When β as part of efforts to encourage early reporting and strengthen community vigilance.
Using real-life examples and interactive discussions, the engagement challenged students to become responsible citizens in promoting gun-violence-free communities.
