On 31 October, the Youth Deliberation Workshop in Ubon Ratchathani was organised to promote youth participation at the local level, particularly in shaping social protection policies, while helping bridge the gap in opportunities for young people outside Bangkok to participate in policymaking processes.
🎲 During the event, participants explored social protection policies and public participation through a lecture delivered by Asst. Prof. Dr. Ajiraphat Pienkhuntod, Project Lead and lecturer at the Department of Public Administration, Faculty of Political Science, Thammasat University. They then took part in discussions and explored key issues through an ‘interactive board game,’ a creative tool designed to help young people analyse different scenarios and understand the interconnected challenges within the social protection system.
Building on these discussions, participants worked together to consolidate their ideas and present policy recommendations from a youth perspective, reflecting the needs and challenges in their own communities.
