Glimpses from Curricular Intervention Workshop, Chiang Mai

Between 13-17 Februray 2020, at a quiet mountain and lakeside retreat of Kireethara Boutique Resorts, Chiang Mai, an intensive curricular intervention workshop by HaB was organised and  co-hosted by Chiang Mai University. While in course of the workshop the experiences were of a more different kind, outside of the workshop they touched our senses. Below are some pictorial snippets from things around the workshop.

"Thank you for sharing these touching photos of Chiang Mai and of your day trip to the Karen villages. They remind me why a number of us think that this SEA-Africa connection is important, because there is still an element of human scale in these two world regions that you don't necessarily find in big state/empire projects."

Chiang Mai in some ways holds a special place for HaB. The first workshop of HaB was held in Chiang Mai three years ago in 2017, and now also the dicussions for HaB 2.0.
