Intercultural and Language (ICL) – Songkhla, learning and sharing the intercultural

and language still are the main purpose. Volunteers will share and exchange culture,

language, and knowledge with the local community and students in the school.

English as the global language and intercultural learning are important for local Thai

people to understand and be for global citizens. English is also the gateway to open

mind and knowledge. The project was created by VSA Thailand in 2011 and has been

successful for eight years. Former volunteers came to give the opportunity for children

in schools and the local community. Many local people improved their English skills

through exchanging with international volunteers, or at least they try to speak the

English language more and dare to face and work with the foreigner even though they

cannot speak English. Moreover, volunteers’ activities impacted the local community.

learn, accept, and adopt the ways of life with the different cultures.
