Since 2015, AU's academic services have flourished, with several successful academic service projects from the faculty of Arts implemented in nearby schools. These initiatives, which have been well appreciated and recognized for their significant impact, serve as a testament to the quality of our work and the appreciation of schools nearby.
With a strong belief in Assumption University's esteemed reputation, representatives from Bangbo Wittayakom School sought advice from Dr. Chayada Thanavisuth, the Dean of Theodore Maria School of Arts, on establishing a “Thai Poetry Writing Training Workshop.” They shared the success story of 2015 when lecturers from Bangbo Wittayakom School participated in a poetry writing training. Under the guidance of Dr. Nanta Thongtaweewattana and knowledge implemented by trained lecturers, the students improved their poetry-writing skills. They received a prestigious award, a testament to the workshop's effectiveness. This proposal continues our collaborative efforts to enhance the use of the Thai language and promote love for the Thai identity, aligning with the OHEC requirements.
Dr. Chayada Thanavisuth, the Dean of Theodore Maria School of Arts, has been pivotal in the success of several projects. A newly launched initiative, “Thai Language Camp for Youth,” aims to enhance the use of the Thai language in Thai prose and poetry. Her leadership has been instrumental in the success of our initiatives, and we are grateful for her continued support.
Subsequently, Bangbo Wittayakom School sent an invitation letter to the faculty of Arts to a Project coordinator of Thai Language Camp for Youth to organize such training on February 15, 2025, from 8.00 a.m. to 3 p.m.
On Saturday, February 15, 2025, Dr. Nanta Thongtaweewattana, accompanied by four students—Rappawat Deepong, Elizabeth Tymosiewic, Ku Chai Ywin @Thin Zar Maung, and Kewalin Tagnoi—arrived at around 7:30 a.m. The training program began with opening remarks and a welcome address from the Deputy Director of Bangbo Wittayakom School, Arjarn Pathairat Lueangthong, along with Arjarn Sudarat Chaengjai. This introduction was followed by a lecture titled "The Extremely Valuable Thai Language," poetry composition exercises, techniques for writing captivating poetry, and a practical session for composing a poem. The students' dedication and hard work culminated in a certificate presentation at 3:00 p.m., a proud moment for all involved.
Dr. Nanta Thongtaweewattana, as the project coordinator of the Thai Language Camp for Youth, wishes to express deep appreciation for the support and collaboration of Theodore Maria School of Arts, the Department of General Education, and Bangbo Wittayakom School. Our collective efforts have resulted in completing this training, and we look forward to more such successful collaborations. Special thanks to Arjarn Promyot Thariya, Head of the Thai Language Program, for his dedication and hard work in facilitating this event. It is truly amazing.!!!!
