The program which offers two enriching courses – Multiculturalism in Asia and Social Innovator Incubation co-organized by Kyushu University in Japan with support from the ASEAN Secretariat was attended by 43 students representing 15 universities from six countries, forming a diverse and dynamic group of delegates. Supported by the Young ASEAN Scholarship grant from Kyushu University, Ms. Tumali was able to participate in the program where she explored the aspect of multiculturalism through her final paper and presentation titled “INKscapes of Tattoo Culture: Philippines’ Batek and Indonesia’s Mentawai,” examining historical, cultural, and societal perspectives. In addition, her team developed a social business project for the Social Innovator Incubation course entitled “OPTICONNECT: Clearer Vision for a Brighter Future,” emphasizing the impact of poor eyesight and proposing mobile ophthalmic clinics and services to enhance the quality of life for impoverished families and address the critical need for access to basic healthcare in rural areas. Furthermore, the participants experienced the rich traditions and heritage of Thailand through cultural immersion activities including Thai Herbal Inhaler Class, Traditional Dance Class, Traditional Dessert Making Class, and a Cultural Trip to Ayutthaya Province. Reflecting on her journey, Tumali emphasized the profound impact of shared experiences and collaborative efforts in forging meaningful relationships and shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
