2025 IGGA Award Finalist Empowering for Sustainability: From Helpless to Wellness

The Suphatphiban community's transformation from "Helpless to Wellness" showcases Siam University's powerful role as a catalyst for sustainable change. Through innovative academic leadership, the University's Faculty of Communication Arts spearheaded a collaborative partnership with Phasi Charoen District Office and the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, implementing the transformative "Tree of Hope" methodology, in compliance with SDG4 (Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education). Participatory learning through the “Tree of Hope” showed that 31% of residents in Suphatphibal face a high risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to poor dietary habits, lack of health knowledge, limited access to safe food, and social isolation across age groups, and the approach empowered residents to identify challenges and discover their collective strength. Siam University's strategic guidance converted hopelessness into action, launching an organic farming initiative aligned with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) that expanded from 10 community leaders to 50 empowered participants. The University's expertise facilitated the creation of a communal garden that serves as both a training center and a sustainable food hub. By fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships (SDG 17) and enhancing urban spaces (SDG 11), Siam University demonstrates how academic institutions can empower communities to achieve wellness outcomes through sustainable development principles

Siam Campus Life Support Center

A brand new Campus Life Support Center was set up in Siam University, with recognition that students coming from high schools to campus life need a learning ecosystem that will enhance their transition period for quality education in higher education institutions. The Center is a comfort space for every student who needs advice in academic study, university life, future work, and other services that will inspire and make their university life meaningful, happy, and safe.
