The event dubbed Breaking Barriers: Nurturing Compassion, Amplifying Human Rights through Vincentian Media Narratives featured stories that emphasized empathy and service according to Vincentian values. 

The showcase organized by the campus journalism class handled by Mr. Manuel Are highlighted how storytelling can help break down barriers and the prevalent themes recognized in societal issues. 

It also served as a major component of the class’s preliminary assessment of media literacy, offering participants valuable opportunities to explore the dynamics of media, including advocacy, through interactive exchanges focused on deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between media narratives, social justice and human rights.
