  • TitleProject "Introducing Unarmed Civilian Protection in Thai Society": Public television broadcast program "You tell, We elaborate" on nonviolent approach to land dispute of the Urak Lawoi ethic group
    Country/TerritoryUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

    DescriptionProject co-investigator Mark Tamthai gave his comments on the on-going land conflict between the Urak Lawoi ethnic group (or sea gypsies) and a hotel investor on Lipe Island, southern Thailand. This collaboration with the news channel emerged after the Chulalongkorn University unarmed civilian protection (UCP) research team had visited the tv station to discuss how best to introduce UCP to the Thai public. It was suggested that an entry point is to touch on a concrete example rather than opening with the UCP concept. UCP was introduced in this TV program through the idea of nonviolence. This collaboration with the public TV program, which was broadcast nation-wide during the evening hours, opens an opportunity for further media engagement activities.
