education for empowerment

In this skills-based course, participants gain a deeper understanding of the migrant and ethic minority communities’ situation in northern Thailand. Participants are exposed to the different lived experiences of their youth counterparts in Chiang Mai, while also being empowered to share the skills and knowledge gained from their own education system with the BEAM students.
