MUIC Students Volunteer at Bangkok Galleries’ Night 2025

By Mrs. Agnieszka Atthasit

On November 21-22, 2025, several students of Mahidol University International College (MUIC) served as volunteers for the Bangkok Galleries’ Night, one of the city’s most vibrant cultural events.

Organized in collaboration with the Oui je parle français en Thaïlande Ambassade de France en Thaïlande สถานเอกอัครราชทูตฝรั่งเศสประจำประเทศไทย and Sawadee France, this annual event brings art, culture, and community together by opening dozens of galleries to the public and creating a lively cultural journey across the city.

For the students, volunteering at Galleries Night was more than just taking part in an event—it was a unique learning opportunity. Throughout the two evenings, students assisted visitors, supported gallery staff, facilitated communication in Thai, English and French, and contributed to the smooth organization of activities. This hands-on experience offered them an authentic environment to practice intercultural communication skills, improve language abilities, and gain confidence interacting with diverse audiences.

Balancing studies with volunteer work also taught students about responsibility and time management. They reported that participating in a large-scale cultural event broadened their understanding of the art world, strengthened their teamwork abilities, and helped them develop a sense of community engagement. By stepping outside the classroom, they discovered how cultural activities can enrich academic learning and personal growth.

The participation of students highlights the value of experiential learning and the importance of engaging with local and international cultural initiatives. Their involvement demonstrates how volunteering can be both a meaningful service and an enriching educational experience.

Critical Voices: ICIC 251 Cultural Posters

Our ICIC 251 Contemporary Southeast Asia: Cultural Studies class continues to examine the region through fresh eyes and critical lenses.

Here are some of the students’ cultural posters—creative, sharp, and grounded in real contemporary issues that shape Southeast Asian lives today.

These posters capture today’s pressing cultural issues across Southeast Asia, from identity and migration to media, gender, and representation.

Chaque année, nos étudiants ont l'occasion de passer un mois en France. En août 2025, trois étudiantes sont parties suivre les cours intensifs à l'Alliance Française de Bordeaux. Grâce aux cours et aux activités, ils ont vécu une expérience unique et ont progressé rapidement en français.

Nous sommes très reconnaissants envers l' Ambassade de France en Thaïlande สถานเอกอัครราชทูตฝรั่งเศสประจำประเทศไทย et Oui je parle français en Thaïlande pour leur aimable soutien à ce projet. Merci beaucoup!

✨ Students from the Intermediate French class were truly honoured to visit the beautiful historical residence of the French Ambassador to Thailand 🏛️🇫🇷 on the occasion of the European Heritage Day.

The residence built in 1866, has witnessed many transformations through the years, with several modifications and restorations preserving its charm. Today it's still a beautiful piece of art.

Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil ! 🙏✨
