The Pilot Project for Developing Volunteer Mechanisms in Higher Education Institutions to Create Educational Opportunities for Remote Schools.
✨On September 12–13, 2025, the #InternationalCollege, #PayapUniversity, sent three student representatives from the English for Career Development program—Mr. Le Duy Khang, Mr. Patrick Klement, and Mr. Santiphap Chat—to take part in a reflection activity under the Pilot Project for Developing Volunteer Mechanisms in Higher Education Institutions to Create Educational Opportunities for Remote Schools. The event was hosted by the University of Phayao and organized by the #WhyIWhy #Foundation in collaboration with the Equitable Education Fund (EEF).
🌱✨The activity was designed with two key objectives:
1. To reflect on experiences and collect data for studying operational models of volunteer projects from the five higher education institutions participating in the pilot project.
2. To present outcomes and foster collaboration among universities through the Annual Conference on Student Identity Development for Sustainable Development 2025, “UP Identity Festival #5: U-Volunteer for Sustainable Development.”
By joining this event, International College students had the opportunity not only to share their project experiences but also to exchange knowledge with peers from other universities across Thailand. This collaboration emphasized the importance of volunteerism as a driver for social change and the role of higher education institutions in creating equal educational opportunities for students in remote areas.
The International College, Payap University, extends its sincere gratitude to the WhyIWhy Foundation and the Equitable Education Fund (EEF) for supporting students in carrying out volunteer projects and engaging in this valuable reflection activity. Such experiences are instrumental in enhancing students’ teamwork skills, developing their leadership potential, and strengthening inter-university networks for sustainable educational development.
