Speaking / Lecture

21 Aug 2024 Last Wednesday, we was invited to speak at the U.S. Embassy. The event was organized by the embassy, and they invited interested friends to join both onsite and online. It was a great honor to have the Ambassador personally open the event and even stay to listen to our presentations. Along with two other speakers, ThisAble.me and STEPS, we shared various topics with our friends.

I’ve been invited by UNDP to speak at the Sustainability Expo 2023 under the topic ‘Designing for All.’ Sustainability Expo 2023 is a national event that has been held annually. I’m preparing a tone for my talk that focuses on positive aspects, but I also need to be careful not to overlook the realities that must be communicated to everyone.

This year marks the 5th year we’ve had the opportunity to give a special talk to the 17 international students of Thammasat University, Tha Prachan Campus, and this year I had more guest joining us. As always, we and activities where students experienced being less-able body, even just for a short time, to raise the awareness and empathy for those whose bodies have changed…

September 12, 2023 Every year, we have an event where we meet with young designers. This year, 90 young designers joined us in the field of Inclusive Design. Our focus is on understanding and empathizing, not just feeling pity. It is essential for designers to communicate with users to gather initial information…

29 June 2023 Was a very special opportunity to give a lecture and receive feedback from our new psychosocial disability friends.

February 18th, 2023 I finally had a chance to talk to students at Pattaya Redemptorist Technological College for People with Disabilities. It had been a long time since my last visit. My main intention for organizing this talk was to have a casual chat with the fellow students. When I asked about their dreams, many of the students answered in the same way: “I want to be able to live independently, have a job, and be able to help my family.” This was word-for-word what Father Ray, the founder of the college, had said since its inception.

November 3, 2022 I gave a special lecture on “Inclusive Living” to students of the Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University. We had a fun session where the students and faculty got to experience a bit of what it’s like to be a person with disabilities, followed by a lecture.

3rd Nov 2022 This was my first time giving a lecture to this faculty. This time, there was a Singaporean student joining the lecture. I narrated in English to communicate directly with the audience. The goal of this lecture is to foster understanding among students about diversity in society. I want them to experience what it is like to be in a wheelchair, unable to see, and be aware that people’s bodies can always change.

Today I transformed into a special teacher, another great year and I’m here at the Faculty of Social Development Thammasat University Tha-Prachan campus. One of the work that I intend to do a lot is to grow up a new generation and I have been doing this for over 8 years, the Faculty of Architecture. and the Faculty of Social Development, also a legal people.
