In the effort to strengthen medias capacity to report about conflicts in Mindanao, the first home-grown Conflict-Sensitive Journalism Teaching Guide: Philosophy and Practice was presented. With insights and examples coming from the Mindanao and Philippines context, the Teaching Guide will support teachers in their efforts to equip aspiring media practitioners with theory and tools for  accurate, balanced and impartial reporting. The Teaching Guide was born out of years of collaboration initiated by  forum ZFD (Ziviler Friedensdienst) with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Office XI, Peace and Conflict Journalism Network (PECOJON) Philippines, and the Media Educators of Mindanao, Inc (MEM), for integrating CSJ in education institutions in the region. It brings together international insights on peace and conflict, Philippine realities of journalists, as collected by PECOJON, and the experiences of communication teachers, contributed by the MEM network.
