To Build a Local Learning Administrator
Satun Story or “โหม๋เรา เล่าตูลล” is a vibrant community initiative in Satun that brings together locals to share and listen to stories about their city. Through collaborative efforts with KMUTT, TK Park Satun, and local authorities, this program builds a culture of lifelong learning. By training over 130 Learning Administrators, including 15 Super Active ones, it empowers residents to document and disseminate Satun’s rich heritage. This grassroots movement not only preserves the city’s narratives but also positions Satun as a UNESCO Learning City, promoting sustainable development through shared knowledge and cultural appreciation.
