The training course will be held over ten days, from October 21 to 30. Seventy participants who are prominent art performers from Chieng Pan commune will learn Thai folk songs and dances, and how to play musical instruments like panpipes, drums, and gongs.

The course aims to empower key art performers in the commune to develop choreography ideas, stage programmes, and enhance their skills in performing traditional dances. They will also learn to use and play various instruments native to the Thai ethnic community, contributing to preserving the unique cultural identity of the Thai people and fostering the growth of cultural and artistic activities at the local level.

At the opening ceremony, Chieng Pan commune announced the decision to establish the Thai ethnic folk song and dance club, with nearly 70 members, who are artisans and prominent art performers from hamlets across the commune. The establishment of the club will contribute to promoting the movement of preserving and developing culture, cultural identity and arts of the Thai ethnic group in Chieng Pan commune.
