A Four-Day Educational Seminar • Ban Thung Maphrao, Phang Nga, Thailand
About the Project
In 2024, TFAS conducted a four-day educational seminar for middle school students in Ban Thung Maphrao, Phang Nga, Thailand, integrating Traditional Korean Taekwondo with interdisciplinary learning and personal development. Using Taekwondo as a vehicle for understanding body movement, discipline, and self-awareness, students participated in instruction delivered across three languages, creating an inclusive and culturally engaging learning environment.
The seminar encouraged students to develop confidence, leadership, communication, discipline, and teamwork, while also exploring how to approach their future academically, socially, and personally.
