“Cultivating Good Citizenship in the Democratic Way” Project
The Faculty of Political Science and Law at Burapha University, in collaboration with the Office of the Election Commission of Chonburi Province, jointly organized the “Cultivating Good Citizenship in the Democratic Way” project on Thursday, September 19, 2024, from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM at the Faculty of Political Science and Law, Burapha University.
The objective of this project is to encourage students to develop knowledge and understanding of democratic principles, citizens’ rights and duties, and transparent and fair electoral processes. Additionally, the project aims to enhance intellectual skills, interpersonal relationships, and social responsibility through teamwork and leadership development.
The value of this project lies in developing students to become leading facilitators in promoting good citizenship. This will serve as a driving force in creating a society that is aware of its own rights and duties and genuinely promotes participation in democratic processes. The project also contributes to strengthening communities, as trained students can apply their knowledge and skills to broader social development.
In terms of alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this project supports Goal 4: Quality Education by providing opportunities for learning and developing essential skills for responsible citizenship. It also aligns with Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions by promoting the rule of law, transparency, and public participation in political processes.
Through the implementation of this project, the Faculty of Political Science and Law at Burapha University and the Office of the Election Commission of Chonburi Province have collaboratively created an approach to sustainable social development. By preparing students—the nation’s future—to have the knowledge, understanding, and ability to be leaders in creating positive change in society, they are paving the way for a better future.
