Ministry of Culture Awards Youth for 'My Moral Community' Media Project
The Thai Department of Religious Affairs recently honored young creators for their contributions to the 'My Moral Community' media contest.
On August 31, 2026, the Department of Religious Affairs under Thailand’s Ministry of Culture held an award ceremony for the 'My Moral Community' media production contest. The event, held at the S Ratchada Leisure Hotel in Bangkok, recognized children and youth who produced creative content highlighting local community values. Prasop Riangngern, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, presided over the ceremony alongside Chaiyapol Suk-iam, Director-General of the Department of Religious Affairs.
This initiative is part of the 'Moral NextGen Model' project, which encourages young people to engage with their communities through creative media. The contest focuses on five core moral principles: sufficiency, discipline, honesty, volunteerism, and gratitude. By promoting these values, the ministry aims to foster a stronger sense of social responsibility among the younger generation.
For residents and travelers, this event highlights the government's ongoing efforts to promote cultural and moral education among Thai youth. While the ceremony has concluded, the long-term impact of these media projects on local community engagement remains to be seen. Further details regarding the specific winning entries and future iterations of the 'Moral NextGen Model' program have not yet been announced by the ministry.
