Story
Towards a Learning City
Satun Learning City is a community-driven initiative transforming Satun into a model of inclusive, lifelong learning. It integrates local knowledge, geocultural identity, and sustainability to strengthen education, civic participation, and local economies. Through creative programs like learning routes, geotourism, and intergenerational storytelling, the project connects marginalized groups, youth, and elders in shared learning. Satun’s unique approach to city branding redefines development through culture, ecology, and innovation. Supported by partnerships between local government, schools, communities, and KMUTT’s Center of Innovation for Society, Satun is paving the way for rural transformation grounded in people’s wisdom and global collaboration.
