“SCG Foundation,” in collaboration with GMMTV, invites more than 200 Gen Z people to participate in a survival skills workshop at the “Young Survivors LEVEL UP” event. The event brings together the “Young Survivors” team and the whole team of Master Class to join the Talk & Show activity, bring the skills of the era to create awareness and understanding together under the Learn to Earn concept through the mission “Young Survivors, This Generation…Must Survive” that has been on-air since May.

Ms. Suvimol Chivaluk, Director and Manager of SCG Foundation, revealed the idea of encouraging Gen Z people to apply the 21st-century learning skills or Power Skills to their lives to survive in today’s world. “SCG Foundation is a charitable organization that has focused on the development of “People.” The fast-changing world and the emergence of COVID-19 are a catalyst for change and adaptation to survive. Therefore, SCG Foundation accelerates the concept of Learn to Earn, Learn to Survive by providing scholarships to children and youth in accordance with the current situation, encouraging youth to study, graduate, and have a job quickly. As well as promote and develop the potential of children and youth to have both Hard skills, or skills and ability to use in professions, and Soft skills, or social and emotional skills. Because in today’s world, a smart person doesn’t mean good at studying or get a 4.00 GPA, but it is a person who can use the knowledge and ability to make a living, take care of oneself and family, has good emotional management,  work as a team, get along with others, and give back to the society.

In addition to providing educational opportunities, the Foundation aims to raise awareness and invite everyone to realize the changing educational model that everything is learning in today’s world. Education is not limited to the classroom but means lifelong learning. Thus, SCG Foundation joins hands with GMM TV to produce the “Young Survivors, This Generation…Must Survive” program. It is led by an experienced and well-known in the various industrial fields called “Master Class”  to do survival missions using multi-skills needed in life and inspire GEN Z people to develop themselves with the skills of the era.

Mr. Sataporn Panichraksapong, Chief Executive Officer of GMMTV Co., Ltd, added about the SCG Foundations’ Learn to Earn concept that “As GMMTV is an expert in content production that can reach teenagers audience, ith teenager actors, here called “Young Survivors”, who can present and convey information to the target audience, especially the Gen Z group, we produce programs with content to convey such ideas so audiences can apply them in real life. The program has been broadcasted on the YouTube channel: GMMTV OFFICIAL since May 2022, totaling 5 episodes. Then here comes the event that is considered a highlight to combine a summary of 5 episodes into the “Young Survivors LEVEL UP” event. The event gathered all Young Survivors and the whole team of Master Class on 10 August 2022 at the Asoke Montri Music and Performing Arts Hall 1, Srinakharinwirot University

At the event, Gen Z youth who attended had the opportunity to meet in person with the whole team of Young Survivors, such as Krist-Perawat, Tay-Tawan Pond-Naravit, Phuwin-Tangsakyuen, Neo-Trai, Arm-Weerayut, and Fourth-Nattawat, to brighten up the event. The attendance also got a chance to join the fun workshop with the Master Class, Pa Ted-Yutthana Boonorm, Nui-Pongsuk Hiranprueck, Green-Nithiwat, and Codey-Attaphon, that passed on the knowledge and skills of the future from their direct experience. There was an opportunity to play fun games with the MC from each class, namely Godji-Tachakorn, Pompam-Niti, Golf-Kittipat, and Jennie Panhan. Additionally, there was a talk session with the Master Class for Gen Z to hear positive thoughts from various gurus before ending with 5 sets of the show from the artists who attended the event.

“SCG Foundation hopes that skills obtained from today will benefit the Gen Z people to be able to apply the skills when facing problems and obstacles. The faster the world changes, the more learning we all must pursue  to develop ourselves to be good at working and living with others in society”, Ms. Suwimon concluded.

The Young Tong Term (A Must Embedded Skills in Youths) project is one of the potential development activities for scholarship grantees of Sharing the Dream by SCG Foundation. It aims at developing both hard and soft skills in scholarship grantees, which will play an important role in their growth and toward their goals under the Learn to Earn, Learn to Survive concept. The survey held by SCG Foundation showed that the grantees are eager to improve their English skills in daily life and public communication, learn new ways to make extra income, as well as contribute to social service. Yet, they haven’t known how to start. Therefore, SCG Foundation designed and developed the Young Tong Term (A Must Embedded Skills in Youths) project to fulfil knowledge and develop essential skills for scholarship students.

“Young Tong Term” (A Must Embedded Skills in Youths ) project allows scholarship students at Higher Vocational Certificate levels and bachelor’s degrees across the country to participate in learning activities which are divided into 2 main sections.

1. Online Class : to inspire and provide techniques from teens’ favorite KOL in 4 areas as follows:

2. Self Learning & Assignment : Once participants completed Online Class, they will practice the four mentioned-above area by an online platform provided by SCG Foundation and take a test to check their understanding and receive a certificate.

Because the digitalized world is fast-moving, keeping up with the world is therefore a great value to them.

School of Changemakers, together with TK Park and SCG Foundation, invite those interested in supporting the change to share their experiences and interests to think, reinforce, and sharpen ideas of all Changemaker-to-be who are looking for new solutions to social problems in their interest, to finally get creative and practical ideas. In this event, you can also raise the problem in your interest to exchange and get creative ideas from people in various industries and age groups.

Background

Apart from the fact that creative ideas to solve complex social problems are usually developed with the target audience’s needs and stakeholders’ participation in mind, these ideas are also often the solutions that come from the owner’s interest, preference, and expertise, thereby becoming the ‘Original’ idea that is different from other ordinary solutions. These original ideas complete what is missing from the system, enabling those who face a problem or those involved to solve their own problems while the idea owners also learn and improve themselves.

Even if there are tools to help generate new ideas, in a world where fresh and advanced ideas have come up every day, it seems that creating new ideas to meet the needs of society and people is not easy.

This workshop is designed to create opportunities for people to use their creativity in exchanging, reinforcing, adding, and sharpening ideas to make new things for society and those with social responsibility in various issues and backgrounds. We believe everyone has their own good things, whether aptitude, preference, or experience. These ‘good things’ can empower and pass to others. For the future changemaker, coming up with creative ideas wouldn’t be too difficult.

What to do in the workshop
– Try using a toolkit to think of creative ideas from yourself and possibilities.
– Come up with solution ideas under the sustainable development framework of Environment, Social, Good Governance (ESG).
– Help the future Changemakers develop new ideas by exchanging, thinking, and reinforcing ideas with participants interested in the change.

Who is suitable for this workshop?

• Supporter for Change: general public, anyone who would like to participate in supporting ideas or new possibilities in solving the problem, help make ideas come true, and be willing to help others.
• Teachers, professors, staff, educators, and school or universities administrators who are interested in learning the process to develop the youth and younger generation to come up with ideas to solve social issues
• Employees, managers, executives, or the general public interested in thinking and solving problems process under the sustainable development framework of Environment, Social, Good Governance (ESG) to be developed in their workplace.

  *Staff will have a workshop participants selection based on skills and interests to diversify the participants

SCG Foundation with Siam Commercial Bank PCL. delivered the waiting area for public to Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute in dedication to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, on the Auspicious Occasion of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother’s 90th Birthday on 12th August 2022.

It would be much nicer if people could have a waiting area while waiting for the treatment, which would help heal the mental health of both patients and their relatives to feel refreshed, encouraged, and hopeful. This is because “the more relaxing heart, the lesser the physical illness will be.”
