The first, the “Capacity Building and Network Strengthening for Subdistrict Administrative Organizations (SAOs): Transforming for Change to Become the People’s Pillar” project, was a collaboration among alumni from the School of Social Development and Strategy, the Center for Sustainable Development and Sufficiency Economy Studies, and the Sirisophat Institute. Held on February 9–11, 2024, at Cavalli Casa Resort, Ayutthaya Province, the activity aimed to promote and strengthen Thailand’s soft power—across art, culture, cuisine, fashion, tourism, music, literature, and sports—among local community members to foster sustainability. Participants included local government officials and personnel from various SAOs nationwide.
The second, the “Combating Fake News and Cyber Threats for the Elderly and Community Leaders” activity, targeted local residents. Organized on April 25, 2024, at Sikhiu Community and Local Area, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, it was co-organized by NIDA and Suranaree University of Technology. Professors and students from both institutions trained 50 elderly participants and community leaders to tackle online misinformation and digital security threats.
The third focused on displaced populations through the IU-NIDA Teacher Development Program, co-organized by NIDA’s School of Language and Communication and Indiana University Bloomington, USA. Held on May 17–23, 2024, at NIDA Campus, the workshops trained 23 Myanmar teachers and educators, including 11 taking refuge in Thailand after the military coup d’état. The training addressed areas critically needed—or even absent—in the Myanmar education system, such as technology integration, trauma-informed teaching, and content-based instruction, and concluded with a certificate-awarding ceremony.
