There were two methodologies used to disseminate the Charter:
1. Direct approach. This was through outright discussion of the Charter. This was done with the grassroots leaders of Sanlakas wherein the Charter was presented to the leaders and feedback was taken after. The Charter also was the take-off in their formulation of a Code of Ethics for Grassroots Community Leaders.
2. Indirect approach. This was by conducting an activity that does not focus on the Charter itself. But the Charter was taken up in the context of the focus of the activity. This was what was done with the Mangyan video-documentary and primer, as well as with the “Painting Messages for the Earth”. The focus on the first is on how the Mangyans exercised responsibility in their community.
“Painting Messages for the Earth” focused on the painting and slogan contest and the summer nature camp. But both venues were used to highlight the Charter, discuss its contents and particularize the spirit of the Charter.
