PATTAYA, Thailand – The Pattaya Education Department organized a recreational event for the youth at Jomtien Beach, offering a platform for young people to showcase their musical talents, December 6. The event took place at the designated activity area on Jomtien Beach, where local youth could express themselves creatively through music.
The initiative is part of the “Youth Creative Music Activity” program for the fiscal year 2025, which aims to empower children and adolescents—key resources for the nation’s future development. As these young individuals grow into adults, they will play pivotal roles in society, culture, and the economy. Promoting activities like music helps foster well-rounded individuals by nurturing their social and emotional development.
Research supports the idea that music has a calming effect on the mind and body. Besides being a hobby, playing and listening to music can keep youth engaged and away from harmful behaviors like drug abuse. It also helps improve thinking, personality, and emotional development, allowing them to become more empathetic and skilled. Additionally, musical skills can lead to professional opportunities, such as becoming a professional musician.
Pattaya City is also committed to providing opportunities for physical, mental, and intellectual growth, helping young people stay away from drugs. This creative music space initiative aims to develop musical talents and encourage youth to express themselves in a positive and productive manner. The event received overwhelming support from tourists and locals who cheered on the young performers, reflecting the program’s success in fostering creativity and community spirit.
