On 18 July 2025, KMITL held the event “From the University Campus to a Livable City” under the KMITL Zero Waste initiative to promote a greener society and sustainable resource management. The opening ceremony was presided over by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Komsan Maleesee, President of KMITL, with participation from university executives and the KLLC team. The event featured inspiring highlights, including Zero Waste Campus guidelines by Chula Zero Waste, a Circular Economy case study by Waste Buy Delivery, and practical zero-waste approaches from Lat Krabang District.
The event also connected with KMITL Book Fair 2025: For Sustainability under the theme “Journey with the whale… toward a sea of learning and a sustainable world.” Visitors enjoyed a wide range of meaningful and eco-friendly activities, such as exchanging reusable items, creating DIY works from leftover materials, supporting local community products, shopping for books, and joining games from partner organizations. The event reflected KMITL’s commitment to sustainability and showed that meaningful change begins when we work together.
This morning at KLLC, the atmosphere was filled with calmness, creativity, and heartfelt expression through the “Art Therapy” activity. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yonlapat Areerob, Acting Director of KLLC, together with Asst. Prof. Dr. Panayu Chairattananont and KLLC staff, joined a learning experience centered on sculpting and painting as a form of emotional healing through art. The session on Art Therapy Theory was led by Ms. Nhu Dalina Chainam, a professional art therapist from IPATT Institute. Art therapy encourages participants to communicate with their inner selves through creative expression, helping them reflect emotions, thoughts, and feelings that may be difficult to express verbally. It also emphasizes deep listening without judgment—both to the artwork and to one’s inner voice. Through this process, art therapy can help relieve stress and anxiety, enhance creativity and social skills, foster emotional understanding and self-acceptance, and gently open new perspectives for healing and personal growth.
On 19 June 2025, KLLC organized “Meditation: Mastering the Mind” to provide staff with a safe and supportive space to practice mindfulness and strengthen inner well-being. The activity was led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yonlapat Areerob, Acting Director of KLLC, with Asst. Prof. Dr. Aranya Walairat as guest speaker, offering practical guidance on meditation in an accessible way. Participants learned breath awareness, meditation in the four postures—standing, walking, sitting, and lying down—as well as chanting and correct meditation techniques. The session emphasized that meditation is not merely about sitting quietly, but about cultivating awareness to better manage stress, anxiety, and daily pressure. To make learning more engaging, the event also included a Kahoot! quiz and Meditation Bingo. This activity supports holistic development by enhancing concentration, cognitive flexibility, emotional balance, and positive attitudes, while also aligning with SDG 3, SDG 4, and SDG 17. KLLC continues to promote learning that nurtures both the mind and the heart.
On 17 June 2025, KLLC organized the workshop “Smart Look Smart Work – Elevating Your Image to Professionalism” to provide participants with a comprehensive learning experience in personality development. The program focused on both external appearance and inner confidence, beginning with morning sessions on first impressions, dress codes, personal color, body shape, and practical color theory. In the afternoon, participants joined hands-on activities designed to help them refine their everyday look, improve body language, and develop a more professional and charming presence in both workplace and public settings. The workshop was led by Ajarn Khachitpan Mekhintrangkun, a professional lecturer from Charm School, Digital Citizen, under the School of General Education, International Academy of Aviation Industry, KMITL. Throughout the day, the atmosphere was full of positivity, smiles, and inspiration, reflecting the idea that personality is not only about appearance, but also about expressing one’s confidence and authenticity in the best possible way.
This training highlighted the importance of human factors as the foundation of safe, efficient, and sustainable work systems. Participants explored the concepts of Human Factors and Macroergonomics, which emphasize not only designing systems and machines to function effectively, but also ensuring that people can work well and maintain a good quality of life. Through case studies and real-world examples, the session connected topics such as human–machine interaction, safety culture, and user-centered work design, helping participants better understand how to reduce human errors and strengthen workforce capability in the era of digital transformation. The training also reinforced the idea that good ergonomics leads to good economics, showing that thoughtful work design benefits both individuals and organizations. Special thanks were extended to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Manassachon Jongprasittiporn from the Department of Industrial Engineering, KMITL, for sharing valuable expertise and offering a holistic perspective on the many interconnected dimensions of human factors in industrial and production systems.
