Benefit: Our “Sustainable Educational Knowledge Exchange” initiative, applicable across all faculties, fosters the dissemination of best practices and innovative techniques. This cultivates an environmentally conscious and socially responsible community, empowering all Shinawatra University graduates to contribute meaningfully to a sustainable world, regardless of their field of study, and providing them with a distinct advantage in their future careers.

Approach: We actively promote cooperation and dialogue between educators, academics, policymakers, and local communities, facilitating the exchange of ideas and solutions to effectively address environmental challenges. Our participation in a global network dedicated to sustainability enables the successful transfer of impactful projects and fosters a sense of shared responsibility for the planet’s well-being.

Impact: The integration of research with teaching and learning across all faculties offers significant advantages. It equips our diverse student body with the adaptability to navigate changing environments and cultivates leadership skills, empowering them to champion sustainability initiatives within Shinawatra University and beyond. By integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our curriculum, we are shaping the next generation of change-makers.

Example: As exemplified by the Faculty of Liberal Arts’ research-integrated course, 1403103: Creativity for Design, students actively engage with local communities (e.g., Phu Khao Thong District) to create solutions that address real-world issues like inequality and poverty, aligning with the SDGs. This model of applied, research-led learning is being fostered across all faculties to ensure tangible impact in diverse fields.

Vision: Through this university-wide commitment to sustainable knowledge exchange and research-integrated education, Shinawatra University is revolutionizing education as a force for positive change. We are building a future that thrives through environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic prosperity in harmony with nature, with contributions from every faculty and every graduate.
