About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is a Thai organization dedicated to social engagement and volunteering. Founded on the idea of promoting solidarity and serving local communities, it works through various projects to address social, educational, and environmental needs. This organization mobilizes local and international volunteers to participate in initiatives such as environmental preservation, support for the education of underprivileged children, and assistance to those in need. It plays a crucial role in raising awareness of social and environmental issues in Thailand and offers opportunities for individuals eager to make a positive contribution to society.

💼 What the programme involves

The project aims at creating digital content about Thai World Heritage and at using online social media and platforms to stimulate interest and raise awareness of world heritage in terms of its values, of youth and community ownership, and of concrete actions to preserve it and become active agents for the safeguarding of its historic, cultural and social values. Songkhla is one of the provinces in Thailand intended to be a Unesco World Heritage town. Songkhla heritage trust committees are structuring the local wisdom to present to the Unesco World Heritage Committee. The camp will be part of raising awareness of Songkhla town values and Cultural-Tourism.

Participants will attend the Media Contents Creator Workshop, learn and visit Songkhla history exhibition and historical old town. Then create the content by their own skills. The output will be present in our partner's website and social media and local coopration medias.
