A quick look at our first English Skill Development Camp! It was full of smiles, laughter, and a great passion for learning!
The camp, held from March 10–13, 2026, at the SOLGEN conference room, ended with great success.
We welcomed 28 Matthayom 1 students from Khanom Pittayakom School. They joined us to improve their English skills and explore new learning experiences.
This event was a “Double-Win” for everyone:
Win 1: The school students improved their English through fun and easy activities that they can use in real life. It also opened their minds and inspired them to learn more.
Win 2 (Highlight): Our university students changed their roles from “listeners” to “assistant trainers.” They practiced leadership, communication, and facilitation skills. This is an important experience for preparing for the working world.
A big thank you to the SOLGEN teachers, our university student team, and all the school students for making this camp a wonderful success! ✨
