National Museum Volunteers (NMV) Bangkok, Thailand

You are here: National Museum Volunteers > Regular activities > Study groups

Study Groups are gatherings of about ten to twelve NMV members who meet weekly for about 6 - 8 weeks to study a particular topic.

Topics cover an aspect of Thai or Asian culture and include:

Hilltribes
Royal Temples of Bangkok
SE Asian Textiles
Hindu Gods
Thai Ceramics

At the start of the Study Group, the Leader distributes a syllabus and suggested reading and reference information.
Each member chooses a topic to study in detail.
Every week, one or two group members give a short presentation on their specific topic, usually accompanied by presentation media.
The Study Group leader may assist members in gathering research and presentation materials.

Announcement:
April 7th 2008: Re-start of the Study group "Textiles of Thailand and Southeast Asia"

As many members keep on asking me to set-up a new Study-Group on textiles, we should start a new group and focus this time not only on Thai textiles but include textiles from the region as well.

Learning to understand the wonderful craft produced by many women, who in their limited free time produced these spectacular pieces is for many people an eye-opener. Before choosing a topic we have to get familiar with the techniques used, and see how the different groups created their own rhythm with the warp and weft.

The study group will be limited to 10 or 12 persons. Each person has to give a presentation of 15 or 20 minutes, and the textiles related to the topic will be on the table. There will be excursions relevant to the study-group, but the most important thing is the learning experience in a small group of friends.

Leader: Else Geraets
Assistant: Christina Joosten
To sign up contact Else at: else@asianet.co.th

Study Groups usually comprise members of many different backgrounds and nationalities, resulting in a stimulating and interesting group learning session.
Any National Museum Volunteer member is welcome to join a Study Group.
The focus is on cooperative learning in a fun and participatory manner. No prior academic or special skills are required.
The only requirements are interest in exploring the topic and a commitment to attend most sessions.

Proposed Study Groups are advertised in the NMV Newsletter.
