BAHS CMU and SPD TU (Social Policy and Development, Thammasat University)

What can be more exciting than learning from great examples at real locations, and with great partner!

On 23 December 2023, BAHS collaborated with the international program in Social Policy and Development (SPD) of Thammasat University to organise a field study trip under the tile "Social Change Youth Leaders Outreach Programme". The activity is organised by Thammasat University every year but, for this year, they decided to work with us as well as to invite  high school students from Chiang Mai who are interested in the topic of leadership. The trip was organised at one of the most interesting space in Chiang Mai, Akha Ama Living Factory, which is the learning space belonging to "Mr. Lee" who owns the coffee brand "Akha Ama". Not only the CMU, TU, and Chiang Mai school students got to listen to the experience of Lee, but also got to learn how a social enterprise is created and run.

The field study trip ended in the classroom at the Faculty of Humanities, CMU, where everyone, including teaching staffs reflected upon lessons that they learned from Mr. Lee and his social enterprise business. SPD TU and BAHS CMU plan to develop collaborative academic projects together in the future. Stay tuned!
