2024 has been a busy year for ICDP Thailand.
This year began with our final module of facilitator training conducted by our two guest international trainers: Pitambar N. and Josien L. Our hope is to have all future trainings hosted and run by local trainers. The ICDP Thailand project is graciously hosted under the care of the Nexus Foundation with Ann Savinne S. as its Director.
We are extremely grateful for our trainers from Nepal and Holland and wish to extend a big thanks to ECEC Foundation in Nepal for coordinating and lending us their trainers over the past two years.
We hope to conclude our Trainer of Trainers modules in early 2025. This training will certify eight new trainers capable of training future facilitators. There are currently three Training of Facilitators in progress. Once concluded, our facilitator count will nearly double to almost seventy. In pairs, our facilitators in training are running approximately thirteen caregiver groups.
We are excited to see ways the ICDP program continues to connect parents, teachers, and social workers with children while impacting our ommunities for the better. Some of our more notable caregiver groups this year included a large pre-school located in downtown Chiang Mai. They required over 20 of their teachers to participate in our trainings and offered great feedback.
Additionally, KF Bangkok School opened its doors in August, and under an MOU with ICDP Thailand, was proud to have all of their staff ICDP certified. They have committed to ongoing partnerships for their staff, teachers, and parents so that all their students may be learning in a nurturing and caring environment with a multifaceted approach.
