Chulalongkorn University and Ministry of Culture Revive Traditional Thai Games
Chulalongkorn University, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, is hosting the third 'Let’s Play' event to encourage children to engage in traditional outdoor games.
Chulalongkorn University’s Property Management Office (PMCU), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the 'Play Changes the World' network, and the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth), has announced the third edition of the 'CHULA Let’s Play' event. Titled 'Playground Park,' the initiative aims to encourage children and their families to step away from digital screens and participate in traditional Thai folk games.
Scheduled for Saturday, September 19, the event seeks to revitalize interest in physical, community-based play. For residents and visitors, this event offers a unique opportunity to observe or participate in cultural activities that emphasize historical social interaction over modern technology. It serves as a community-focused initiative to preserve intangible cultural heritage through active engagement.
While the event is confirmed for September 19, specific details regarding the full schedule of activities, exact venue logistics within the university grounds, and potential registration requirements for participants remain to be clarified by the organizers. Those interested in attending are encouraged to monitor official announcements from PMCU or the Ministry of Culture for further updates as the date approaches.
