NRCT Philosophy Division, Srinakharinwirot University, and academics from other institutions, arranged a forum to brainstorm the policy, guidelines, as well as suggestions on cultural management . The forum has the objective to create understanding amongst Thai children to realize the value of Thai culture as well as being proud of being Thai.
