The DC Junior Camp is back!

Organized by Know-are: Teaching Thai Children Life Skills, the camp will take place on November 18–19. This program provides an opportunity for children to explore and experience different professions, learn about the work processes involved in each career, and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each occupation.

The goal is to help participants reflect, analyze, and identify whether these professions truly align with their interests and passions — and if not, to explore other career paths they may wish to try. This process supports self-discovery and helps children develop clear goals and informed choices for their future.

Too often, when young people are unsure of what they want to do, they may later find themselves in careers that don’t bring them happiness — sometimes too far along to turn back. Therefore, understanding oneself and one’s interests at an early age is crucial in laying the foundation for a fulfilling life.

The DC Junior Camp is designed for children aged 7–13 years and is packed with activities over two full days! Participants will not only learn about various professions but also develop collaboration and social skills through interactive group activities — providing an enriching and memorable experience for all. See you there!

Project name: A collaborative project between the Environmental Social Sciences Program, Faculty of Liberal Arts, and the Promotion and Support Center for the Royal Project Foundation and Royal Initiative Projects.

Participants: 10 people

Project duration: 1 time per year

Project area: ED

Graduate students participating in this project gained invaluable fieldwork experience. They learned how to collect data within the community, conduct interviews, create community maps, and carry out close observation. These activities enabled them to develop a profound understanding of the way of life of the Mlabri ethnic group. Moreover, direct interaction with the community allowed the students to attain an in-depth understanding of forest and natural resource management in ways that cannot be achieved in a classroom setting.

The Mlabri community was fully supported and actively engaged in the research process, which helped foster mutual understanding and recognition of their identity, as well as their traditional way of life that relies sustainably on local forest resources. Information gathered from interviews with community leaders and members provided insights into the challenges they face and reflected the community’s capacity to adapt to social and environmental changes.

This initiative represents a process of social engagement, in which both students and the community genuinely participated in the research. The students immersed themselves in the field to learn about the Mlabri way of life and practice field data collection, while the community played an active role in shaping the research framework and sharing their knowledge of nature-based forest management. This participatory approach helped build strong relationships between academia and the community and contributed to the development of sustainable pathways that respect traditional lifestyles and community needs.

Colorful Your Pride: Embrace a Unique Identity Because We Are More Than Just One Color

“Be yourself” is a saying we often hear from childhood. While this phrase sounds simple, in reality, not everyone dares to ‘be themselves’ in a world where people are still judged by gender, skin color, body shape, or sexual orientation. Daring to express one’s identity is therefore no small matter, and not everyone has the space to express themselves equally.Yet, amidst these limitations, many people are able to walk their own paths with pride, because we all possess ‘our own shade of color’ colors drawn from experience, dreams, hopes, or fears.This article invites everyone to listen to the voices of students within the diverse community of KMUTT, who will share their unique shades of color. Some shades may be emerald green, some may be deep ocean blue, and some shades may become an inspiration to many others. This is because Pride Month is not just about the rainbow symbol or a parade, but about opening up space for ‘everyone’ to express their multi-shaded identities with equality and pride.
