To encourage Learn-from-everywhere culture, I will mainly use online platforms in the project—for example, MS Teams or Zoom, LINE, Mural, etc. However, the offline workshop might also be conducted.
For the workshop, I plan to use tictoc/similar documents when designing the workshops. Worksheets, presentation slides, and other documents will also be created as needed.
=Project Name: Social Innovation Entrepreneurship=
''Project by Faculty Innovation Fellows Candidate [[Faculty Champion:Anukal Chiralaksanakul|Anukal Chiralaksanakul]]''
===Why is this project important to you, your department, & your Fellows?===
I believe that university should be a place to empower students to take on their new ideas, whether gained from the class they take or by a conversation with their peers, etc. to reality. In the process, they will learn by doing from actual experiences, and along the way, they may be able to positively change something that they care about.
===Description===
Just before the COVID-19, I started an incubation program at my university. The program focuses mainly on technology-based innovation. As usual, the program incubates in student teams for about 12 weeks. I would say it succeeds in its own scale since there are student teams who still continue the business as present and also teams who get funded by public corporations. During running the incubation program, however, I notice that there are a lot of opportunities that student teams can help to initiate projects that can address environmental and societal issues. Thailand is still a developing country where there are various kinds of complex environmental and societal issues. Furthermore, our university roots in social science with many experts on different environmental and societal issues.
To build up a community of people who are interested in addressing complex environmental and societal issues through the lens of innovation-driven entrepreneurship would be something that I am interested in. Innovation does not need to come from technology only. The incubation process and activities will strengthen the network of students, university experts on the issues, entrepreneurs, alumni, and community.
