Workshop

Democratic Youth Network 2023: Youth Leaders Strengthen Democratic Citizenship

Workshop Series on Civic Education to Strengthen the Democratic Youth Network

The recent general election in Thailand had a larger number of voters. According to observation of the media, poll-watchers and experts, there was significant political excitement and participation among the youth that showed in both direct and indirect ways. A large number of young citizens in schools and universities exercised their rights to vote or voiced their opinions enthusiastically. To sustain and strengthen their democratic citizenship, the Secretariat of the National Assembly (SNA) as a government organization is therefore responsible for providing civic education to the youth on the principle of the parliamentary and participatory democracy with the King as Head of State.
