ENHANCING YOUTH’S VOLUNTARY MIND BY “CLICK 21” ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to enhance youth’s voluntary mind by “Click 21” activities. This research was a quasi-experiment research. The experimental group students consisted of 15 students from the Faculty of Mass Communication, Panyapiwat Institute of Management. This research was conducted as activities of camps no. 1-3 by integrating the Buddhist Principle of Sangahavatthu 4, with the 21 activities under the conceptual framework of Deming’s Cycle.
The results gained from the activities for enhancing youth’s voluntary mind were knowledge sharing and reflection of feelings. These activities enabled the experimental group students to understand their own inner world. While learning the inner world, the interactions with the outer world were reflections that enabled them to gain more knowledge of the others. Consequently, the experimental group students gained deep insights of the dimensions of giving, sacrificing, sharing, wishing to help, and regularly helping the others in order to live with other people more intimately.
