Student immersion program in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, Thailand 2 projects of 1 week in June and July
Volunteer project: In this project, volunteers will help organize a student immersion program in Chinagmai, Thailand. The Student Immersion Program is a four-day educational and cultural exchange initiative designed to broaden students' perspectives through hands-on learning, cultural exploration, and creative expression. Participants will engage in school activities focused on intercultural exchange, exploring local cultural heritage sites, and taking part in a Forest Restoration Workshop to learn about biodiversity and sustainability. This program fosters global awareness, personal growth, and meaningful connections, empowering students to become responsible and creative global citizens.
The international volunteers will act as team staff to support the students' immersion program activities according to the schedule. The volunteers will arrive 3 days before the activities with the students start in order to have a planning meeting with the local team.
