Hanas, the Ultimate Summer Program for Culture and the Arts

What better way to make the most of your summer vacation than to level up your cultural experience? This summer  the National Commission for Culture and the Arts in partnership with Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod, Western Visayas Association of Museums, Inc., and The Negros Museum, brings you Hanas, the scholarship program for culture and the arts.

In the Hiligaynon language, Hanas means to hone one’s skills. That’s why Hanas aims to provide the opportunities for second-liners in the field of performance arts and cultural management to hone their skills and capacity.

Five courses are offered: fundamentals of film, theatre, dance, museology, weaving and creative curriculum. The scholarship program, held in different venues in Bacolod City gears the participants in accomplishing an accumulated 140 hours of training in a span for two months to be eligible to graduate from the training.

Participants who fall short in accomplishing the required total number of hours will still be provided with a certificate. Esteemed inviduals in the different fields of culture and the arts will serve as mentors of the participants.  So far, slots are still available for museum workers and teachers from the Department of Education.

Hanas is now accepting scholarship applications from the Western Visayas Region and beyond. The scholarship covers the registration for the duration of the training.
