Mahasarakham University (MSU), established in 1967, is a public and progressive university located in the heart of the Northeast of Thailand. It is offering up to 3 scholarships to FFL undergraduate students in participating in its MSU INDIE Camp 2024. INDIE stands for inclusivity, diversity, and equity.
The MSU Indie Camp 2024 offers an enriching experience for students and young enthusiasts to engage in critical global issues while enjoying the beautiful landscapes of MSU and Phuket. Set to run from February 19-27, this camp promises a blend of learning and leisure, with a comprehensive scholarship package that includes accommodation, meals, transportation, and entry to tourist attractions. Participants will delve into pressing themes such as Climate Change, Plural Society, and Animal Rights, fostering a deeper understanding and commitment to these crucial topics.
The camp aims to empower student voice, agency, and leadership through a wide range of activities organized at the camp. Our activities are designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary for their present and future academic and professional endeavours. The students will have opportunities to explore issues related to inclusion, diversity, and equity. Their contributions and commitment to the program will enable MSU to establish a network of youth leaders who work together towards promoting inclusivity, diversity, and equity. These youth leaders will be encouraged to embrace a global mindset while treasuring their local identities.
MSU INDIE Camp 2024 welcomes undergraduate students who hope to explore more about their talents, shortcomings, and identities while discovering ways to promote values of inclusivity, diversity, and equity in different contexts.
