11.2.5 Arts and heritage contribution
Srinakharinwirot University has supported music, theatre, and dance not only as academic disciplines but also as public expressions of creativity that connect the institution to society. The university plays a central role in preserving and promoting the arts through annual public performances by choirs, theatre groups, orchestras, and student-led ensembles. These performances are not only part of university life but are open to the wider community, ensuring that art remains accessible, relevant, and sustainable.
In the 2024 academic year, our university organised over 30 performances, including regular concert series, drama productions, regional folk performances and ad-hoc collaborations with local cultural organisations. Many of these are organised in partnership with government ministries, local cultural foundations, and international cultural institutes, underscoring the university’s role as a trusted custodian of heritage and a promoter of global cultural dialogue.
