Youth Charter on Youth Participation in Thailand’s Social Protection System

The final output from the project “Youth Deliberation Hackathon: Shaping Their Role in Social Protection Systems” in the format of a Youth Charter is now here, under the cooperation between the Faculty of Political Science of Thammasat University and KAS Thailand. The Charter, compiled from the pitched ideas and recommendations presented and discussed in the two-day hackathon activity in November 2025, portrayed collective demands and proposals that synthesise agenda priorities, prototype solutions, and pathways for embedding youth voices across Thailand’s welfare governance system. It also frames youth’s contributions within a broader deliberative system, aligning with theory on systemic deliberative democracy while offering practical insights for reforming Thailand’s participatory governance.
