We offer weekly free seminars on a number of subjects that we believe are key to Thailand's growth as a country and our growth as individuals.  The presentations will be in Thai and English.  We hope to stimulate conversation and progress in individuals, communities and organizations with the information provided in these interactive seminars.  One of our key goals is empowerment through education.  We don't think access to information and conversations like this should be limited to those who can pay, which is why these are completely free.  Our presentations will focus on the importance of the following topics: moral values, personal growth, humane education, environmental awareness, and wildlife awareness.

Moral Values.  Most education currently lacks focus on moral values.  These seminars will discuss the value of educators and leaders guiding youth towards values such as compassion, hard work, honesty, and cooperation and methods to achieve those goals.  We will also discuss the development of empathy as youth grow and its importance in creating a just and fair society.


Personal Growth.  We all have room to grow.  Anyone who is interested in improving quality of life, employ ability, self awareness or self esteem for themselves or for others through their position as a teacher, mentor or community leader can benefit from learning more about methods to help people grow and achieve their personal goals and aspirations.



Humane Education. Humane education uses experiential and service based learning to encourage children to be compassionate towards all animals, human and non-human.  This is more important now than ever to ensure that Thailand's youth have a sense of stewardship over the planet's non-human inhabitants, both domesticated and wild, which are currently threatened by human cruelty, exploitation, or habitat destruction.


Environmental Awareness. Promotion of environmental awareness is key to our overall goal of helping to create a beautiful and sustainable Thailand.  Educating the public on the fragility and irreplaceability of the natural environmental, its importance to their health and well being, and the intrinsic value of its non-human inhabitants, can help foster a sense of duty and stewardship towards the natural world.


Wildlife Awareness. It's crucial to cultivate awareness and knowledge of wildlife behavior to avoid human-animal conflict which can otherwise lead to property damage or injury or death for animals or humans. This is especially true in Thailand because of our incredible biodiversity which includes many animals that can come into potentially dangerous contact with humans, such as monkeys or elephants. 


We welcome volunteer speakers and interpreters for this seminar.  If you are interested in this opportunity please send us a short video of you speaking or presenting.  Go to vacancies for information on applying.
