Chanthaburi province, located at the border, is home to a substantial population from neighboring countries or the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) group. These individuals have chosen to reside and work in this area, including children and youth who have recently relocated to the province. As a result, some primary schools now have students from neighboring countries studying alongside Thai students, particularly in subjects like arts and artistic activities. Consequently, there is a shortage of teachers with expertise in the arts in some schools. Recognizing this, the Faculty of Gems at Burapha University, Chanthaburi Campus, has implemented a policy to support education for youth in the local community. 

          As a response, projects have been initiated to teach arts to youth, aiming to promote development, enhance skills, and provide artistic knowledge to primary school children in Chanthaburi province. The objectives include fostering creative thinking, developing positive thinking, adjusting students’ behavior and expressions, improving concentration, and simultaneously providing opportunities for students to think independently, plan, and act confidently in their own ideas. Additionally, the activities aim to enhance understanding and artistic creativity, serving as a valuable resource for societal advancement in the long term. 

          This initiative occurred on January 18, 2567, at Wat Tha Sala School in the Ramphan Sub-district of Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi province. Alongkorn Pamounsab, along with faculty members from the Jewelry Design department at Burapha University, Chanthaburi Campus, spearheaded the project. Mrs. Varanuch Suthichannapha, the proprietor of Beloved Batik Studio, generously contributed her expertise in teaching batik-making to the young participants. Enthusiastic students specializing in Jewelry Design from the Faculty of Gems actively engaged in the event.
