Are you an editorial cartoonist?
A manga or comics artist?
Can you handle social accountability?

Ready your pens and sketch pad! You are cordially invited to the Social Accountability(SAc) Artshop: A Young Artist’s Journey to Social Accountability.

The SAc Artshop will bring together young editorial cartoonists/manga/comics artists from the Philippines and other EAP countries to jointly journey in deepening their understanding of SAc and capacitating themselves to amplify SAc in the arts.

The SAc Artshop, a three-day learning event and art-workshop, is designed to provide young artists with an in-depth view of SAc concepts and tools through input-presentations that provide possible triggers for and contexts to ideas on editorial cartoons/manga/comics strips. These ideas will be brought to the sketch pad during every artshop session. Every after artshop, sharing sessions give artists time to talk about their learning and explain/expound on their art-pieces. Each artist will be contributing to the SAc Artshop Portfolio that will showcase the best art pieces during the Artshop.

The SAc Artshop will take place in Antipolo City, Philippines.
The organizers will provide for lodging, artshop materials, meals and transportation (land fare / airfare expenses).

Thousands of scouts from different countries underwent the social accountability module (29-31 December 2009) in the recently concluded 26th Asia Pacific Regional Jamboree in Mt. Makiling, Los Banos, Philippines. Equipped with guide maps and monitoring/assessment instruments, they ventured in a mission to explore the condition of public service delivery in five communities. It was implemented by the TOBSPA in partnership with the World Organization of Scouting Movement (WOSM-APR) and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP)

Action characters depicted their roles as citizen champions of social accountability. These are The Advocate, The Enforcer, The Communicator, The Guardian, The Mentor, The Innovator, The Analyst, and The Organizer.
