A student from Mahidol University International College’s (MUIC) Intercultural Studies and Languages Program (ICIC) participated in the “ASEAN SDGs Youth Camp: Leveraging Digital Innovation for the SDGs” on November 3 – 8, 2024.

Ms. Zoe Morrison, a senior ICIC student, participated in the camp which focused on SDGs in ASEAN by looking at digital innovations in many different fields such as health and well-being, environmental sustainability and education. The speakers were lecturers, deans and vice presidents from the different faculties in Mahidol University.

Organized by Mahidol University’s International Relations Division in collaboration with the ASEAN Center for Sustainable Development Studies and Dialogue (ACSDSD) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), the project attracted 30 students from both Mahidol University and youth in other ASEAN countries and Timor Leste.
