1.計畫宗旨 Project Purpose:

GDA國際志工團隊泰國清萊之旅的目的在於力促青年發揮GDA立會的信念，即貢獻所學、共同學習的精神。透過參與國際志工服務、教育和文化交流，我們致力於建立國際友誼。我們期望此行能夠為參與者和當地社區帶來積極的變革和發展，同時促進跨文化理解和共融發展。這是一個共同學習和成長的機會，不僅能提升參與者的全球公民價值觀，深化對全球議題的認識，並喚起對全球社會責任的意識，更能使青年領袖成為形塑未來的全球公民。

The GDA International Volunteer Team's trip to Chiang Rai, Thailand, aims to inspire young individuals to embrace the principles of the GDA legislature – promoting the spirit of contributing knowledge and engaging in collaborative learning. By actively participating in international volunteer service, education, and cultural exchange, our commitment lies in establishing international friendships. We anticipate that this journey will bring positive changes and development to both participants and the local community, fostering cross-cultural understanding and inclusive growth. This serves as an opportunity for mutual learning and growth, not only enhancing participants' values as global citizens and deepening their understanding of global issues but also instilling a sense of global social responsibility. Ultimately, it empowers young leaders to shape the future as global citizens.

2.服務據點 The service center in Northern Thailand, Chiang Rai | Our perception of Chinese culture

泰北清萊｜我們所看見的中華文化

泰緬邊界有金三角之稱，不僅毒品交易頻繁直接的迫害當地居民，孩子們的教育學習與文化認同又成了另一個問題，地處偏遠的泰國北部山區，貧瘠的資源，使兒童教育問題逐漸受到社會關注。

The Thai-Burmese border is known as the Golden Triangle. Not only is there frequent drug trade, causing direct harm to local residents, but the education, learning, and cultural identity of children have also become another issue. Located in the remote mountains of northern Thailand, the scarce resources have gradually brought attention to the issue of children's education in the region.
