THE DEPARTMENT of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) XI held its “Talakayan sa Onse” activity on Nov. 9 to strengthen collaboration among information officers from local government units (LGUs) on information dissemination and strategic communication.
Participants joined a conference for discussions of the agency’s programs, services, and initiatives presented by keynote speakers.
It also gave the opportunity for the guests to get to know each other through introductions and expectation-setting.
An open discussion among information officers was held to discuss communication challenges, opportunities, and best practices.
