International College of Digital Innovation
International College of Digital Innovation, Chiang Mai University, held the “ICDI Faculty Forward: Connect & Grow” workshop from 27–28 April 2026 at Flora Creek Chiang Mai Hotel. The program aimed to strengthen the capacity of academic staff and promote participatory learning through Active Learning processes that encouraged lecturers to think, analyze, share experiences, and collaboratively design practical approaches for organizational development.
On the first day, 27 April 2026, the program began with a workshop titled “Unlock & Unite: Link the Dots, Align the Minds” conducted by Ms. Chompunut Tocharoen, an expert in human resources and personnel development. The session focused on connecting ideas, shifting perspectives, and building shared understanding through group activities, discussion, and reflections from real work experiences—fostering alignment and collaboration among academic staff within the organization.
In the evening, a networking activity for lecturers was held to reinforce a spirit of cooperation, teamwork, and positive relationships among the academic staff—an essential foundation for effective collaboration.
Activities on 28 April 2026 continued with an interactive workshop titled “Designing Who We Are: Shared Identity, Stronger Future”, led by Associate Professor Dr. Orapin Santiteerakul and Dr. Sansana Siritham. The session emphasized the participation of lecturers in co-creating a shared organizational identity through strategic thinking, perspective sharing, and group discussions, ultimately contributing to defining development directions aligned with the college’s context and goals.
Across the two-day program, the Active Workshop approach was used to intensively develop the soft skills of academic staff. Participants engaged in experience sharing, collaborative learning, and exchanging ideas for future organizational development—resulting in a stronger, more resilient team ready to navigate long-term changes.
This initiative reflects the college’s commitment to personnel development, participatory learning, and enhancing faculty potential. The knowledge gained from the workshops will be applied to improve teaching quality, strengthen internal collaboration, and drive the college toward sustainable growth in the future.
