Learning Through Place: A Mural, a Memory, and a Moment of Curiosity
Heritage is often discovered through simple moments of curiosity. Sometimes, a mural, a familiar childhood game, or an everyday scene can become the starting point for meaningful conversations about memory, identity, and cultural heritage.
In this edition of ICME Voices, Mr. Jinnawat Lertpradit, Lecturer in Social Studies Education at Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand, shares a personal reflection from a field visit that highlights how curiosity can become a pathway to understanding place, culture, and community.

During a fieldwork visit with secondary school students in northern Thailand, I noticed a student pause in front of a Tai Khuen ethnic community mural.
The mural depicted scenes of everyday life, including traditional weaving and children playing marbles, which were once common in the village.
At that moment, the student responded to the artwork by crouching down and reaching towards the painted marbles, as if trying to understand how children in the past spent their time.
For a brief moment, the mural became more than just a painting on a wall; it became a starting point for questions about daily life, memories, and cultural change.
As an educator and researcher, this reminded me that learning about place and culture often begins with simple encounters found in ordinary stories, local artwork, and the curiosity of young people who take the time to look closely.
