𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗧𝗡𝗔𝗠 – Ms. Atitaya Phoemphon, a Master’s student in the Development and Sustainability (DS) program within the Faculty of Public Policy and Sustainable Development (FPSD) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), studying under the supervision of Dr. Duanghathai Buranajaroenkij, has recently completed her deployment as a Youth Volunteer in the eMpowering Youths Across ASEAN (eYAA) Cohort 6 Program in Da Nang and Hoi An, Vietnam. This regional fellowship brought together 11 emerging youth leaders from across ASEAN member states to collaborate with local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on sustainable community development.

This immersive two-week field deployment directly bridges Ms. Atitaya’s academic foundation in Development and Sustainability (DS) at AIT with practical, grassroots ex*****on. Working alongside Catalyst for Change Vietnam (C4C Vietnam) on the "Her Space" initiative, she contributed to community-based communications, youth-led workshops, and economic empowerment strategies for local single mothers.
