Healthy meals and supportive school environments are essential foundations for learning. Through practical, locally driven solutions, schools in 6 countries, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand are helping children grow healthier, attend school more regularly, and engage more actively in their classrooms.

From 27–29 January 2026, Songkhla Province became a true “living classroom” for cultural heritage and sustainability 🌏

🎞️ The Seminar on Cultural Heritage and Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP): Inclusive Growth, Resilience and Community Well-being brought together 17 participants from 9 countries across Southeast Asia and Bhutan to explore how cultural heritage can strengthen communities and support sustainable development.

🔶 Through workshops, expert discussions and site visits – from schools and community learning centres to museums and creative hubs – participants saw how traditional wisdom and modern innovation can work together to revitalise local economies and build resilience.

🤝🏻 This collaborative programme was made possible through the partnership of SEAMEO SEPS, UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok, the Ministry of Culture of Thailand and SEAMEO SPAFA, reaffirming a shared commitment to promoting cultural heritage as a driver of inclusive growth and community well-being across the region.
