Workshop

Democratic Youth Network of the Thai Parliament 2024 (Northeastern Province)

Youth Leadership as Citizens for the Sustainable Development with Democratic Values

The Secretariat of the House of Representatives and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung cooperatively provide civic education for youth with the knowledge/information they need for being quality citizens. It also supports the Parliamentary Democracy Youth Network to increase their group working skill and number of members. In this year, UNDP Thailand will cooperatively join the event, contributing on the topic of sustainable development to strengthen youth network on this issue. This project expects that democracy promotion among the Thai youth will bring about greater potential and continuity.

Details

In 2024, the three partner organizations - SNA, UNDP Thailand, and KAS - will work together in eight upper secondary schools across the country through this workshop series. Another important aspect of this activity is giving opportunities to Members of the House of Representatives from various constituencies to present their legislative works as parliamentarians as well as progress of debates in resolving citizens’ complaints through the parliamentary sessions. In doing so, the target youth can learn more about the MPs' roles and responsibilities which will be very helpful and encouraging for them in civic participation process according to the principles of participatory democracy.
