TK Park Convenes National Network to Design Future Learning Spaces
TK Park is hosting a three-day national workshop in Bangkok this month to help learning park networks across Thailand design community-focused learning spaces and strengthen collaboration among government, private sector, and civil society
TK Park is advancing development of its nationwide learning park network, aiming to establish a strong learning ecosystem and expand collaboration across sectors. The institute is hosting a practical workshop called "Co-Creating Networks Toward a Common Goal" for fiscal year 2569 from July 21–23, 2569 at the Best Western Sukhumvit Hotel in Bangkok. The three-day event convenes learning park networks nationwide to exchange experiences, build staff capacity, and design approaches to upgrade learning areas tailored to local community needs.
The initiative is central to TK Park's mission to develop a comprehensive "Learning Ecosystem" that links cooperation among government agencies, the private sector, educational institutions, civil society, and communities. The goal is to expand access to quality learning resources for people of all ages and position learning spaces as key mechanisms for human development, job creation, and sustainable quality of life improvement.
The workshop launched on July 21 with opening remarks from Suranart Phokananth, head of learning park network development, followed by sessions covering policy perspectives, contemporary knowledge, and practical implementation. Highlights include a keynote on "Future of Learning Spaces: Global and Local Trends," a brainstorming session on "Learning Spaces Suited to Local Context," and case studies including the Songwat RE:BORN project, which demonstrates revitalization of an old quarter through community power, creativity, and new economy. Participants also conducted field visits to Thonburi Film Archive and Legendary Wargame to explore learning dimensions through history, cinema, and creative activities.
Additional workshop components include a prototyping session for designing learning resource concepts and a "Network Commitment & Next Step" activity to set collaborative goals moving forward. The seminar aligns with TK Park's 2569 operational strategy, emphasizing four core missions: sustaining and developing existing networks, strengthening network capacity, expanding collaborative partnerships, and forging strategic alliances both domestically and internationally to integrate knowledge in economics, vocational skills, innovation, and human capital development into community learning spaces.
