One Health Education: Building Tomorrow’s Leaders in Thai Schools
With the support of Chevron through SEAOHUN and in collaboration with Kasetsart University (KU), a transformative initiative is shaping the future of health and sustainability education in Thailand. The One Health Core Competency (OHCC) program equips students with the tools to tackle critical health and environmental challenges, nurturing a generation of informed and empowered leaders.
Recent activities have highlighted the positive impact of this collaboration. Representatives from KU, SEAOHUN, and Chevron visited three schools to witness how One Health concepts are being integrated into the classroom. These visits showcased how education can inspire students and teachers to make a tangible difference in their communities.
At Bangkok Christian College, the launch of the Health Innovation & Smart Library and the No Drug One Health Project marked exciting milestones in health education. Students proudly presented their creative projects at a One Health exhibition, demonstrating how classroom lessons are transformed into real-world solutions.
At Princess Chulabhorn Science High School, students shared STEM-based projects focused on addressing health problems within their communities. Teachers explained how One Health principles have encouraged students to think critically and collaborate to overcome these challenges.
At Sarasas Witaed Suksa School, students and teachers explored how STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) aligns with One Health concepts. Students shared innovative projects that combined these fields, highlighting teamwork and creativity. Teachers noted how these activities not only help students understand global challenges but also foster personal and academic growth.
These school visits clearly demonstrated the power of the partnership between Chevron, SEAOHUN, and KU. Students are not just learning facts; they are discovering how their actions can create positive change. Teachers are guiding young leaders to understand and address some of the world’s most pressing health and environmental issues.
This collaboration reflects a strong commitment to both education and sustainability. By bringing together the expertise of SEAOHUN, Kasetsart University, and Chevron, the initiative fosters critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity. Together, this partnership is helping to shape a better future, where education and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
