BEAM Education Foundation (BEAM), located in Chiang Mai, was founded in January 2010 as a registered non-profit educational foundation in response to the rising educational needs of migrants and disadvantaged youth in Thailand. BEAM envisions people-oriented, peaceful, and developed communities in Myanmar and Thailand, which can be sustained by empowering local communities through comprehensive and continuous access to education.

BEAM will organize a three-day youth conference, held on Nov2-4, 2018, in collaboration with the JUMP! Foundation. During the program, we are offering the participants practice to design thinking and create their own community development projects. We will support the best teams in getting their projects implemented.

The objective of the conference is to inspire, empower, and engage migrant youth, Thai youth, and Thai ethnic youth living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as well as to collectively tackle the challenges defined by participants via youth-centered workshops. We hope to inspire a change-maker mindset. The program will contribute to the development of youth, particularly those most disadvantaged and vulnerable in our community.

The conference will mainly focus on the following:

Providing a space where diverse communities (Thai, Thai ethnic, and migrants) can voice their perspectives on social issues around Thailand 4.0, peace, and sustainable development.
Developing the capacity of 50 migrant youth, Thai youth, and Thai ethnic youth participants living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Inspiring youth to create Community Impact Project(s) that create local solutions to local challenges.
Identifying Community Impact Project(s) to provide seed funding and mentorship opportunities for.
Mentoring, monitoring, and evaluating the execution of the small Community Impact Project(s).
