As ways forward of Raheemah Peace Weavers, on October 6-8, 2021, they spearheaded the Write-shop on Development of Contextualized Competency Standards and Curriculum of area-based skills in Marawi and Lanao del Sur. The participants during the write-shop are those weavers and craftspeople from Tugaya, Lanao del Sur.

During this activity, the four essential competencies on the skill-based in Marawi City and Lanao del Sur were the emphasis of the write-shop. This effort created a guide to core work skills to help key stakeholders better understand what core work skills are, how important they are, and how to deliver, attain and recognize them.
Raheemah Peace Weavers has also invited teachers from King Faisal Center for Islamic, Arabic and Asian Studies to further analyze and discuss the importance of Halal Industry Enhancement during the establishment of contextualized competency standards and curriculum of area-based skills in the region in order to fulfill the Halal Standard compliance.
