BANGKOK, 9 July 2015 – The Public Relations Department is collaborating with UNESCO in planning a workshop that will promote constructive use of the internet.
According to PRD director-general Apinan Juntarungsri, that mass media-related collaboration with UNESCO is of paramount importance to the development of personnel and the country. Over the past year, the PRD has worked with UNESCO on two fronts, namely following up on relevant activities in Thailand and abroad, and publicizing articles related to UNESCO and activities of the various committees under UNESCO. Gender equality, World Radio Day and Press Freedom Day are some of the topics publicized.
The PRD has also been working with UNESCO to support media personnel development projects by mass media organizations. Especially of note is the support provided to the development of community-level media that service some 4,000 locales throughout the country, with the aim of promoting the roles of women and children in community radio operations.
