Study Tour

Every mid-year, and now end of year, Makhampom hosts the much-loved Study Tour program. Since 1999, the Study Tour has provided overseas participants a rich introduction to Makhampom’s work while raising funds to support our community-based programs. In brief, it offers a hands-on training module of theatre in communities, a cultural exchange between participants from various countries and with Makhampom, a living theatre experience at our Chiang Dao centre, an exploration of local Thai lifestyles, and a lot of fun.

The 18-day program includes:
· A four-day TCCD training course;
· A two-day homestay and exchange program with Makhampom’s partner hilltribe communities;
· A three-day performance devising process followed by touring in local villages;
and
· Participant-run workshops for Chiang Dao youth theatre groups, a Children’s Day event at the Living Theatre, a program of visits and sightseeing in Chiang Dao and Chiang Mai, and a copy of Makhampom’s publication ‘Art of Peace’, video documentary, and t-shirt.

The Study Tour is suited to students and teachers, performers, youth workers, educators, community development workers, and adventurers
