On 29 January, 2026, Ms. Thorfan Dechachainimit, project coordinator, was invited to deliver a guest lecture on “Real-World Experiences in Civil Society Management in Developing Social Policy” at the Faculty of Social Administration, Social Policy and Development, Thammasat University. The session aimed to share practical insights from civil society work and highlight the important role of civil society organizations in shaping and advancing inclusive social policies.

The lecture was attended by approximately 15 students and combined both theoretical perspectives and real-world examples drawn from APCD’s experience. Students were encouraged to actively participate through an interactive question-and-answer session, allowing for in-depth discussion on challenges, strategies, and opportunities in civil society management.

To help students apply the concepts discussed to practical scenarios related to social policy development, an engaging group activity was conducted. This interactive approach helped enhance students’ understanding, critical thinking, and engagement with real-world policy and management. The session provided a valuable learning experience and strengthened the connection between academic study and practical civil society work.
