The Royal Thai Embassy in The Hague, together with the Young Ambassadors of Virtue Foundation (YAVF), implemented “The Study Visit to Enhance Learning Experiences and Foster Goodwill” in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 2024 from 26 September – 6 October 2024. The group of Young Ambassadors of Virtue comprised 5 students, 1 teacher from 6 schools in 6 provinces, and 1 YAVF staff member.
For the visit, the delegation paid a courtesy call on H.E. Asi Mamanee, Ambassador of Thailand to the Netherlands, and exchanged their learning experiences and bonded with students at 2 elementary schools in the Hague and BaanPaasaaThai School.
1. Annie M.G. Schmidt School
2. Junior School Vlasklamp, British School in the Netherlands (BNS)
3. BaanPaasaaThai School
The study visit provided them with opportunity to learn about science and technology, history, and culture of the Netherlands from their visits to museums and landmarks as follows:
The Hague: The Young Ambassadors of Virtue visited Museon-Omniversum Museum, Corpus Museum, Nederlands Openluchtmuseum, NEMO Science Museum, and the Mauritshuis Museum and studied agricultural practices at Plukkerij Framblij.
Amsterdam: They also visited an exhibition of important drawings and arts about Thailand at Rijksmuseum and embarked on a cruise to observe the urban environments along the Amsterdam canal.
Rotterdam: The group had a chance to study water management at Maeslantkering and visited Future Land at Rotterdam cruise port.
Delft: They visited the New Church, the City Hall, Delftware, and the Zaanse Schans in Zaandam.
The above-mentioned project provided an opportunity for the Young Ambassadors of Virtue to broaden their horizons in the Netherlands and promoted Thai culture to the Dutch audiences to increase their appreciation of Thailand. The project also empowered Thai youths as global citizens with a sense of global awareness who are able to improve themselves to be on an equal footing with young people in other countries.
