PATA Thailand Bangkok University Student Chapter Launched The Educational Benefits of Environmental Podcast Series
Bangkok, Thailand, 15th September, 2023 - The PATA Thailand Bangkok University Student Chapter has launched a podcast series focusing on sustainable lifestyle practices. Building on the success of their first season centered around sustainable tourism and hospitality, this initiative aims to foster meaningful discussions and inspire actionable insights among the university community regarding sustainability.
The PATA Thailand Bangkok University Student Chapter launched an innovative podcast series aimed at promoting sustainability awareness within the university community. The journey began with a comprehensive first season focusing on sustainable tourism and hospitality, spanning 8 episodes. This initial phase served as a foundational platform, addressing crucial sustainability issues prevalent in the tourism industry. Building on the success of the first season, the chapter expanded its podcast initiative with a second season dedicated to exploring sustainable lifestyle practices. This season comprised 6 episodes, each delving into different aspects of sustainable living. The content was designed not only to educate but also to engage listeners through dynamic discussions, guest interviews, and interactive segments.
Throughout both seasons, the podcast format seamlessly integrated educational content with entertaining campus activities, such as interviews with fellow students and engaging dialogues with industry experts. These interactions provided diverse perspectives on sustainability, making the podcast series relatable and compelling for its audience. In addition to producing podcast episodes, the PATA Thailand Bangkok University Student Chapter actively engaged with students beyond its membership, inviting their perspectives on sustainability practices within the university campus. By including diverse student voices, the initiative aimed to broaden participation and deepen engagement in sustainability efforts.
Moreover, the chapter facilitated discussions with university lecturers, enriching the content with expert insights and fostering meaningful exchanges on sustainable practices. These interactions not only enhanced the educational value of the podcast series but also provided audiences with valuable insights and practical strategies for implementing sustainability in their personal and academic lives. Furthermore, our educational podcast series aligns closely with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), aiming to raise awareness and promote understanding of sustainability issues among students and the wider community.

Episodes such as "Thrift Fashion" in Season 2, Episode 3 and 4, "Sustainable Lifestyle" in Episode 2, and a panel discussion on sustainability in Episode 6 provide valuable insights and practical strategies for sustainable living. By focusing on environmental and sustainability topics, our videos contribute significantly to advancing Sustainable Development Goals 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water), and 15 (Life on Land). These efforts are crucial in fostering discussions, advocating for responsible environmental stewardship, and inspiring action towards a sustainable future. The podcast series produced by the PATA Thailand Bangkok University Student Chapter received extensive visibility across various social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
